Re: CV Joints and Power Steering noises.

Re: Brake Pedal Sinking to floor

I had the same problem before I bleed the brakes. I'll try tuning the drums. But the left caliper on the front clamps but not with a lot of force, when I apply the brakes I can turn the wheel with my hands with little effort.

Brake Pedal Sinking to floor

My brake pedal goes all the way down to the floor with very little resistance. I just changed the brakes (pads, calipers, drums). The fluid level is the same so I know there is not a leak.

Idling problems.

My 87 tercel 4wd auto revs high for a few seconds then low for a few seconds. It does this when I first start the engine for 5-8 minutes and only does it while in neutral. Any ideas as to what's wrong? I'm into cars but I don't know a lot sadly. Thanks!
