Re: Brake Pedal goes to floor everything new !! :(

JohnT: My van was an auto. unless i'm very much mistaken, there was nothing else apart of the brake system.

OT. I'd get the lines replaced as they have probably never been done, I think I caused my problem after twisting the lines a bit while changing rotors up front.

Re: Excessive Vibration Under Load

I did manage to get my hands on a pdf version of the motor manual for this engine.....I'll check it see if 'trouble shooting' is in there. thanks for all the help! really apprecia...

Re: Brake Pedal goes to floor everything new !! :(

how did you bleed it? try with the engine on and start from the rear left (passenger side), then rear right (driver's side), then front left and lastly front right. That's the correct order. If done in a different order, air pockets can develop and cause exactly what you are describing. I'm assumin...
