i checked for vacuem leaks and they are good. when i just start it the brake pedal goes down halfway like normal. but when it starts to brake itself the pedal is super sensative. i am going to go with a new master cylinder and brake lines. you guys know where a good place to get a master cylinder. thanks alot for info

Most reliable place to get a new one is dealer or Napa. Don't wast your time with cheepies. They will fail.

Bleed the MC first. Just install it. Hook up the hoses that it comes with. Fill up the reservoir. Pump the pedal until no air come into the lines. Then hook up the lines and bleed the system. It should include instructions with it.
