Hooking up the brake lines to the master cyclinder

I had to replace all the brake lines in my chevy lumina van 1993 3.1 engine. How do the brake lines hook up to the master cyclinder

    Through a 5-way manifold located on the master cyl Vacuum assist unit, on the fender or the firewall (1 in, 4 out - to the wheel cylinders. Is that what you wanted to know? It looks like a small rectangular box with 5 connections. about 1" by 1/2" by 5" long

    I'm not sure what you are asking. If the fittings are the same, they should screw into the master cylinder where you unscrewed the old ones

Why do brakes go to floor but still have light pressure?

It sounds like you have air in your brake lines. This is usually caused by a very low brake fluid in the master cyclinder.
To fix this problem fill up the master cyclinder with brake fluid and bleed the front wheel brake cyclinders until the air bubbles are removed. Keep the master cyclinder topped up with brake fluid. Then bleed the rear wheel brake cyclinders until the air bubbles are removed. Don't forget to top up the brake fluid in the master cyclinder.

Where do you put the brake fluid in a 1998 Chevy malilbu

The brake fluid goes in a reservoir on top of the master cyclinder inside the firewall under the hood.

Open the hood of your 1998 Chevy Malibu and locate the brake fluid reservoir. On a 1998 Malibu, it's located on the driver's side closest to the front windshield. Open the reservoir tank and place the cap in a safe place where it won't get lost. Fill it to the fill line and not above then replace the cap and your done. Now you need to figure out where the brake fluid is going since this is a closed system and if it is low then your brakes are getting worn and more fluid is accumulating in the lines due to more travel of the brake cyclinders or you have a leak. The master cylinder should look like this picture, if you find this helpful, a vote with the thumbs up would be appreciated

93 chevy lumina the brake lines aren't getting fluid

Open the bleeder screws on your brake, and stick a gas line hose on the bleeder screw. Put the other end in a clear bottle of brake fluid, and pump the brake till all the air bubbles quit coming out. Then tighten the bleeder. If no bubbles come, you may have a faulty master cylinder.

What two coolant lines connect to the throttle body on a 3.1 multi port engine

There are no coolant lines connected to the throttle body, just the two fuel line. The high pressure side and low pressure side (Return line) and I believe the lines don't even connect to the throttle body on a multi port engine, the lines go to the fuel rails to the injectors.
Good luck
