Brakes on 1989 Ford Tempo
Hi, I'm new. I need some help. My kids' dad owns a Ford Tempo but each time, we looked around, both of us just didn't know. We don't want to waste money on fixing the brakes. Okay, when I was driving around. Once come to a stop, I was waiting for the green light but the pressure were getting down on the gas pedal. The more I pressed the gas pedal, the more it kept on going down and make the car moves forward. We have to use the neutral gear until the green light is on before we shift the gear to "D" drive. Any idea what is going on with the brakes?? The lights didnt' show up for any brake problem. Thanks.

Re: Brakes on 1989 Ford Tempo
Sounds like the breather valve is loose. Make sure your master cylinder is full, then bleed the brakes and tighten everything back up properly, problem should go away. If this doesn't work, trace all the brake lines and make sure you don't have a leak or kink in any of the lines.

Okay, thanks. We took his car to the tire shop and like you said, the mechanic found the problem there. But my kids' dad said he'll have to save some bucks and bring it in, in two weeks or next week. It will not be expensive than he paid earlier ago. He just paid over $400 for the arm control, and some other parts.

His master cylinder has been repaired and he's happy as a lark. Not bad for the cost. The car brakes smoothly which we're happy now. Thanks. And the breather valve also was tighten better.
