Brakes Pressure Problems

[Topaz]

Hi all, every morn when I start my car I have to spend about 2 minutes pumping the brake pedal to get the pressure up in the brake system.....how ever I was doing that this morning and after about 5-6 seconds the engine got sluggish and cut out (yes, I let the fuel pump buzzing stop before starting the car)

just wondering if these are linked, if so what is it?, if not then i guess theres a hole along the brake line somewhere.....how do I find the hole?

cheers

is it only on initial start up in the morning ? doesnt feel spongey at any stage ?

maybe even a broken seal in the master cylinder..

just look for signs of brake fluid around fittings on guard liners suspension arms anything like that or below or around the master cylinder

hope this helps.

I will keep checking but the fluid level issn't going down....possibly a master cylinder air leak then?!

yes, only at startup/when cold

just before leaving work today I pumped the brake a few times BEFORE starting the car, which helped a bit
