If you want to shoot it to me in a PM I'll keep it on hand just in case, but between us trying to figure the problem out here and 4 mechanics at King, I really don't know what else anyone could come up with that it could be.

I think I'm going to start designing a permanent bleeder system that I can operate from the driver's seat.

Already done man. Just another avenue for suggestions. he's been working on cars/honda's for years. Maybe he'll suggest something not yet suggested.

I'll give him a ring when I head out for lunch. Certainly can't hurt to pick someone else's brain about it.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Dave senior thinks it's definitely the master cylinder.

The one you've changed so many times??? What brand are you using? Have you tried and OEM one if it's not OEM???

I've tried 2 brand spanking new Omni Power masters. I just snuck out of work for a minute to run up the the Acura dealership for a new OEM unit.

Mugen Mike · Post by **Mugen Mike** » June 2nd, 2006, 5:52 pm

Not really, somewhere around $450 so far

Ouch. That sucks. Hope the OEM unit holds up right and fixes all of your issues.

No kidding - that's more than 1/2 the cost of a brand new Mugen intake.

Thanks, but I'm not getting my hopes up just yet....

Never know dude. I know it seems strange, but I've had 2 OEM chevy trans's do the same thing. Works, then down the road it doesn't. Replace with new trans, works, down the road it doesn't. Keep your head up for now.

What's really weird is that each time I have to bleed the system, I attach the hose, build up some pressure, open the bleeder screw and close it back up after *maybe* 10 seconds of bleeding, and it's good to go again for a couple hours.

Anyone know the purpose of the little floating disc in the reservoir tank? I do not have one.

I always thought that was supposed to prevent air from being sucked into the system. but I'm not positive.

WTF happened to it?

Dave_B · Post by **Dave_B** » June 3rd, 2006, 5:57 pm

So did the new OEM unit take care of the issue? Inquiring minds want to know...

That's what I figured it's for. No idea what happened to it, it hasn't been there since I owned the car.
