I hope I misunderstand: Pedal went to the floor and you drove 25 miles on the freeway waiting for it to firm up?

Anyway, it is possible the rubber line has failed at the connection. Also possible that the metal line has cracked at the fitting from being stressed sometime in the past. However, as others have said, a line failure would not fix itself. An MC failure will (for a while). If it were my car, what with a nice new strong go-fast six and all, I would be replacing all four flex lines AND the master cylinder pronto.

Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. We have a winner folks!

Piece of mind beats piece of guard rail any day (not really certain if it beats piece of ass though... that's kind of a rock, paper, scissors thing (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif)).

Let's see... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) You have a 914 and you've been known to... HANG OUT HERE! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/w00t.gif)

I'd say that qualifies.

Let us know what you find out...
