Get's confusing, all that pumping, heel-toeing, braking etc. Actually went off once with my foot caught between pedals.
No parking brake.
I have the solution. I am replacing everything !
New MC from Mazda, not rebuilt. Getting the vacuum booster rebuilt. Trying to find a new proportional valve. Then with a pressure bleeder, at HIGH psi, I will go through the whole system, going back to my old (and functioning) calipers, one by one until I can get a pedal.
Try this. After the m/c bench bleed, bolt it on, then bleed it from each of the lines that are attached to it, then go around and do the calipers. Two quarts of dot 5 brake later, the car will stop on a dime through meer thought.(slight exaggeration).
