sicking brakes

Postby vncntsbr » Mon Feb 27, 2012 10:45 pm

hello everyone,
I am new to this forum and i hope that someone can help me.I am driving a 99 toyota solara 3.0L Engine front and rear disc brakes. I recently had to replace the master cylinder and the brake booster
because the brake fluid was leaking into the brake booster. the problem I am having now is that all 4 disc brake calipers, after driving for about 2min stick and the calipers will only retract if I let the car sit for a while or when I open the bleed screw then all 4 calipers will retract immediately and the car will drive but for only 2 min and the brakes will lock again. It is as if the brake fluid pressure is building up but not being released when I take my foot off the brake. does anyone have any suggestion on what I need to check?

You need to adjust your brake booster, the adjustment is done on the pin that pushes on the master cylinder, been there done that, trust.
