Default 88 civic brake issue

Just this week I press down on the brake pedal and the pedal goes all the way down to the floor... it stops, but definitely not like it should. My rear is drum brakes and my E brake works fine. Any ideas?

last week was fine....what a constructive post *sarcasm*

L_U_C_K thanks... any tutorials on how to do this online? I'm new to brakes, I can change calipers and rotors but that's it. never had to bleed them before.

Are you losing Brake fluid? Like L_U_C_K stated, bleed each caliper and Brake Cylinder, then if still having issues check your lines for leaks.

Else, replace your Brake Master Cylinder. GL

Was a joke. If you are srsly posting on this site and got butthurt over that then you obviously haven't seen some of the other threads.

I agree with L_U_C_K and Enthusiast though.
