Definitely...it was a joke, not a suggestion...but a valid experiment, if he truly believes you can't hit the floor from air in the lines....

You posted the answer to your own innane BS in the quotes you supplied. Reading comprehension's a bitch, ain't it?

Moisture contamination boils under heat stress. Boiling fluid releases vapor. For the purposes of hydraulics, vapor and air are synonymous. Therefore, Air (or vapor) in the lines at boiling point produces the symptom, but the underlying cause is moisture contamination of the fluid.

I was merely making a comparison between the two.

Try reading before flaming next time, moron....
You maybe good at fixing cars, but your attitude is a big no no. By calling other names won't win more respect for you. People can have different opinions base on their experiences. Always be nice to other members.

You owe starynight an apology.

Thanks ProMan.

Actually it's no big deal! Apologize or not, doesn't make too much difference. I've seen many like him. Just don't waste your time with this kind of rude people.

He called other names which makes himself the names he called, always.

We are all try to help others, not to defy others. I totally agree, people can all have different opinions toward one issue. That's what all these forums are for.

Be modest and humble. Because no matter how good you think you are, you may not be that good.

Oh, didn't see him apologized already and recalled the names he called. Hopefully this will make him a better guy.

Try to be as helpful as you can, bend over backwards to explain things to people, always be respectful, loose it one time and are you remembered for being helpful, patient and kind?

Nope. They remember the "episode"

I'm fine. We're fine. Forget it. It's done.

Re: 90 accord brake pedal to floor on hot days.

I agree with the contaminated fluid issue. My 90 has 230k on it. The fluid is very nasty looking. I have experienced the same issue with the pedal going much lower than normal on some of the really hot days we have had this summer. The 95-97 deg. days....The car still stopped, but not as well as usual. I plan on bleeding the brakes until I get clear fluid on all 4 wheels. Of course, I will probably break off a bleeder. None of the calipers or wheel cylinders have ever been replaced, nor has the master cylinder. I guess I have been lucky!!

Re: 90 accord brake pedal to floor on hot days.

Same thing happened to my 94 accord and it was the master cylinder. Make sure they refill the brake fluid or else your brake light will come on and stay on and they will try to scare you into major brake work!
