Question Brake problems...

K, when I hit the brakes repeatedly( a few times in under a minute), the pedal gets rock hard, and they don't work too well. I dunno why. It's like when you pump the brakes when the car's off. I don't know wat's wrong, but I'd like to stop, lol Thanks for the help.

Sorry for the lack of info. It does not have ABS. It was a GXL, I did a Jspec swap into it. And, have some other problems, but, I'm hoping the Microtech will alleviate some of those. But, again, no ABS, and what about the booster? lol, I know nothing about brakes.

Brake booster...At this point, check the vac hose to the booster for leaks/cracks, and make sure the check valve (in the hose near the booster) is present & operational...
