That part I'm not sure about!

I doubt the problem's there.. i say first check for air leaks between the MC and BB. I'm pretty sure it's leaking out air somewhere around the MC and BB so the brakes are barely engaging..

Check for air coming back out around the brake pedal..

Here's a pic of the BB and MC... how it flows. THis is just a general BB and MC.. Honda's may be a little different, but same concept.

If ya think about it..

if it was leaking back from the BB then it would still have compression just be harder to push the pedal because your not getting help from the air pressure.

If it was the seal between the MC and BB, the air would go back into the booster and get sucked by the engine. But when the car is off the one-way valve is closed so air can't go anywhere except back into the MC making the pedal strong with the engine off!

lol.. i think that makes sense.

go back to the pic CET_CIVIC posted.. it's #3..

the MC to BB seal.
