1993 Mercury Villager 3.0 shuts down Sign In
First of all the car hasn't been driven for a month and a half. Before that it has been driven for a month. Before that it has been driven about a mile every 2-3 weeks. I havent had these problems even when i haven't driven the car for several months.

Whenever i break a bit harder at stoplights it turns off. I checked the battery cables they are held on the battery tightly.

just threw a look the front side of the cylindar and lines are dry and clean looked at the pavment under the car all dry. I drove it for 15min about 5 hours ago. If the cylindar is the problem is it possible to lose my brakes totally while driving?

it does not hold fluid.......it passes air through line.check for any cracks and make sure all connections are tight and no play in them.take some dish soap in water and put some around connections and with running see if any bubbles.the exhaust leak causing back pressure could cause you problems.

with engine off pump brake pedal 4-5 times and hold....the pedal should hold steady.....now still holding pedla firm start vehicle and pedal should drop to a point and then hold steady.
