Unhappy break issue

my breaks just keep building up pressure more and more untill finally they wont let go of the calipers..i can relieve the pressure from the valve and everything is fine for a little while then it builds up again, i have a 89 crx, with 94 integra breaks on it....does anyone have any idea whats goin on???

it sounds like there's a kink in the lines somewhere. fluid can get forced through the kink, but it can't flow back. i think the test is to pump the breaks a whole bunch with the car off to build up pressure, then undo the bleeder valves one by one and see which one shoots out. that's your bad line.

did you adjust the master cylinder? cause you aint supposed to. my bet is either a bad MC or you fucked with the adjustment to raise the pedal up.

and its brakes, not breaks.

no i didnt mess with the master cylinder at all..the owner before me told me that he had the problem and tried 3 different master cylinders and brake boosters....and both the front two spit the fluid out when the pressure is built up

^~~~^Previous owner.. It has 94 and up brakes, Master cylinder and brake booster.. I replaced the rotors on it cause i thought that was the problem but i guess not.. I also put 93 DA integra booster and master cylinder on it and that didnt work. The only way i kept them from locking up was to bleed them and let a little air get back into them.. Sounds weird but it worked. I am stumped on it. I checked the lines and they arent kinked anywhere. I might have over looked it, So try to check the lines. I have never heard of anybody putting 94 and up integra suspension and brakes on a crx before. But they do work, You just have to have coilovers.

does it have the stock hoses? my bet is that there is a hose with a lining torn up in it.
