1992 toyota corolla, stiff brakes after driving several miles in

1992 toyota corolla, initial problem was brake pedal became stiff after several miles and some braking. This would cause passenger front brake to engage enough to cause vibration and require extra gas and downshift to continue. Brakes never locked. Replaced calipers, brake lines, pucks. hapeenend again within 20 miles. Used the car imtermittently vibrated intermittently. Did some research replaced the master cylinder this weekend. Problem still occurs but only intermittently. Happened again today and when I stopped to make a left turn pressed the pedal as hard as I could. By the time I got home 1 mile later the problem was subsiding. Problem subsides if I let the car idle for several minutes without the brake engaged or turn off the car for the same amount of time. Any ideas. Vacuum leak or is it the b power booster?

Your brake light switch is stuck. It is located under the dash, near the top of the brake pedal. Replace it with a new one.

I have a 1992 corolla brake peddal pulsalating?

if you can drive 50 mph and push on the brake pedal lightly and the steering wheel pulsates, the front rotors are warped. new does not mean straight, and cheap never means good. If you feel it in the pedal or your **** then the most likely problem is the rear brakes,.

My 96 t100 brake pedal just became very stiff and the check engine light came on (refrencing a code of a possible vacumm leak)any ideas?

Hi:
You have a vacuum leak for sure. It could be in the power brake booster, or the vacuum hose that feeds it. The reason your brakes got stiff is you lost your power brakes, so your next thing to do is to try to find your leak!

Clutch pedal very stiff, goes in out, dont' grab....

You can go to this link. It's a website sells manuals and honestly, since I've bought one from them, I didn't need further help. I have chrysler 2002 and it almost broke down but I got a $9 manual, and it's perfectly fine now.

check if it is brake fluid. could be coming from the oil seal and passing to the push rod towards the pedal.
