Sorry for breaking any forum rules, i didn't see any welcome areas like most of my other forums. Anyway, i just picked up my 3rd probe that i've owned, this being a 94 se i believe, the 2nd was a 93 base, and the first was an 89 lx. Anyway, picked this up as a commuter since my truck's averaging about 12mpg. There is SO much that needs doing/undoing. Anyway, the biggest todo item on the list is fixing a hard brake pedal.
I started by swapping the booster for one i got at one of the local self service yards(3 cheers for employee discount-no fee to get in) and replacing the drum wheel cylinders, and they got better. Before there was little to no travel with the hard pedal, but now it does move, but still stiff.
I'm thinking i may have gotten a bad unit, but i would like to know the average vacuum the 2.0 makes so i can try doing some additional troubleshooting before shotgunning more parts into the system. I have an electric vacuum pump that i use for brake bleeding, and will pull and hold around 16-18 inches of vacuum until i release the pressure, and wanna try using it for testing the booster.
Thanks in advance
