brakes r line lock want hold car anyone can help

 

You need to provide a little bit of info... year and model of car would be a good start. Then a slightly more detailed description of the problem.

Let's try this in the "brakes" forum.

 

its a 97 ss lots of work done to engine,but my problems is the brakes want hold the car in a burnout,neither does the line lock.its just pushes the car.

 

I have a line lock on my '95 ( kit from Thunder Racing, Hurst Roll Control unit). Have you recently done any brake work? Wondering if maybe you have air in the lines, maybe you should bleed them to make sure. Since the brakes won't hold the car with or without the lock, it seems the problem is the front brakes rather than the line lock.

 

Still need some more information.

Is this a new occurance? Did it used to hold? Did you just install the line lock or was it before and just not used?

Are you using it correctly and pressing your foot to the floor as hard as possible, then engaging it?

Have you done any brake work to the front end lately?

Theres TONS of things it could be.

 

no i havent did a brake job on the car bought it used and apart,not sure if they work before, but i plain on try to bled the brakes this weekend.and as far as applying the line lock i press the brakes the ingague the line lock.

 

My stock front brakes/line lock will hold the car in a 6,000rpm 2nd gear burnout on 28" ET Drags.....

If your line lock and brakes won't hold the car, there's something wrong with the brakes. What was "apart" when you got the car..... any of the braking components? What condition are the brake pads in? .... the brake rotors? .... is the "BRAKE" light on?

 

just the engine was taking apart,the breakes and rotors look good,and yes the brake light is on, and so is the abs.havent had much time to deal with the issue just wanted to see if any one could help or had any ideas. i plain on working on this problem this weekend.

 

If the "BRAKE" light is on, it indicates that there is a pressure imbalance between the front and rear brakes. This can mean air in the line, leaking components, etc. Or maybe the "BRAKE" light pressure differential switch got stuck in the "on" position when you were using the line lock. I've had this happen a couple times. I good hard stop in an open parking lot will usually unstick it. But if your brakes aren't stopping the car, and the line lock will not hold the car, there's a good chance you have air in the lines to the front brakes, or leaks. Sort of risky to even attempt a hard stop.

If the "ABS INOP" light is on, it may be in response to the "BRAKE" light being on, or it may be a problem with the ABS sensors or the ABS modulation motors.

Lot's of possibilities.

 

yea i hear you i plan on starting with bleding the brakes frist,then going from there,but thanks for all the info.

 

i have to pump the brakes hard three or four times then engauge the line lock and if itson dry pavement it will still roll a little if you dont drop the clutch hard.
