Brake Pedal Assitance
Was wondering if someone can describe the brake pedal feel with the car off with the battery connected or disconnected (both would be great, but I'll take either one).
I'm a little worried I ran the master cylinder low/dry while bleeding (got some air through the caliper), but then it continued to bleed fine and the brakes work and feel great on the street -- but the feel could be the eboost. The problem with the eboost stuff is I'm not sure what it should feel like when not driving. In most cars, with the car off, a few pumps the pedal gets super hard. That's not happening here, but I assume with power to the car, the feel is all artificial anyway. With the battery disconnected, it does get stiffer, but still not rock hard. I don't know what this car is actually supposed to feel like, so could use someone else to check their so I know if I've got to bleed the master cylinder.
Thanks in advance for your help.
