when i push the brakes on my 93 dx the pedal goes right to the floor..... checked the fluid and there is plenty of fluid in the canister says full. car sat for a while not sure what it could be? maybe just need to bleed the brakes? the front pads and rotors are rusty but dont know if that would all need to replaced?? if someone can please help it would be greatly appreciated....!!!

alright thats what i wasnt sure of it if could be as simple as bleeding the brakes hope it is lol and another post said that it could be the brake booster or the master cylinder but if its the cylinder it wouldnt have brake fluid in the canister at all if im not mistaken...
bleed the brakes and it still drops to the floor...... grabs very little when the pedal is about a half inch from the floor.... really hoping its not the master cylinder anyone else have ne ideas what it might be besides that??
bled the brakes RR LR RF LF and made sure that there was a good solid stream coming out of the bleeder screw... and what do u mean a scanner?
yeah well ive had a few people tell me it sounds like a master cylinder so i think ill just replace that and let u guys know what happend thanks for the help
alright well i put the new master cylinder in and bled all the brakes again for the third time in the past 3 days and the pedal when i pump it when the car gets stiffer but the second i turn the car on it gets spongey and almost drops to the floor...... can think of what it might be, brake booster, or maybe im just not bleeding the brakes good enough..... if someone could give me there opinion that would be amazing!!! thanks
yes i replaced the front pads and rotors but didnt touch anything in the rear because it doesnt need them as far as i could tell shoes and drums are good, and when i bled them i went RR RL FR FL cause thats how everyone ive talked to said to do it from mechanics to auto part workers. my uncle who has been a mechanic for years said that theres air still in the lines from possibly not gettin it all out of the MC
the same happened to me, but i was driving on an avenue about 40mph and i had to use the e-brake to stop at the traffic light cuz the brake pad went to the floor, i checked the fluid and it was full, i took it to the mechanic and it was the MC, and i havent had any problem since 2 years ago, you shuld check it
and if i have something written wrong please correct me, cuz my english is still bad

Check the rear wheel cylinders like Biz suggested.. If you decide you need a master cylinder, I have one from a 92 dx I am parting out.
am i the only one that noticed the part about him already replacing the MC?
lol no kidding ive already said i replaced the MC but hey it happens i miss read stuff all the time lol . so now im just not sure if it could be the rear wheel cylinders or theres air in the lines, im gonna be working on it again tomorrow so i will let u know the outcome, and how would i go about checking the rear wheel cylinders? thanks again for everyone helping out greatly appreciated
Nope.
If they are bad, You will see fluid as soon as you remove the drumlol no kidding ive already said i replaced the MC but hey it happens i miss read stuff all the time lol . so now im just not sure if it could be the rear wheel cylinders or theres air in the lines, im gonna be working on it again tomorrow so i will let u know the outcome, and how would i go about checking the rear wheel cylinders? thanks again for everyone helping out greatly appreciated
