Break problems
Basically, starting this morning, I have had to pump my brakes and use my parking brake in order to stop quickly. My brake will be tight when i push down on the brake peddle, but the next time i push down, it goes to the floor hardly braking at all, and slowly. So it basically switches between being tight and going to the floor each time i press down on brake pedal. Brake fluid is full and was flushed not to long ago. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Re: Break problems
Argh, sorry brakes. Well the brake system has already been bled and the front brake pads were replaced about a month ago...I guess I'll look into checking out this master cylinder. Thanks.
Edit: I definitely think it's the master cylinder, I'm guessing it's just one of the two circuits leaking, which is reducing my brake power. Thanks for all the help guys. May I ask how much you payed for you master cyclinder Jarrod?

Re: Break problems
Well I called autozone, and apparently he couldn't tell me what size master cylinder I needed....He only gave me an option of 13/16 or 7/8, which one do you think would be better? I have 93 honda civic dx completely stock.
