I dunno what to do with my brakes in my crx...
They are really really spongy and they seem to bog the motor when i brake to a stop. They're very inconsistent the first time using them from starting cold, sometimes the first brake will result in stalling the car or just having no brake pressure, pumping them brings it back alright. Generally they just feel like they are very lacking in pressure.

I've replaced the pads not long ago and tried putting in another brake booster and master cylinder and bled the brake lines but all those things didn't seem to make much difference. They just seem to gradually get more and more spongy.

I'm not losing any brakefluid as I can see but my brake fluid looks milky, i don't know if that's an indication of the cause. I changed the brake fluid when I replaced the master cylinder and brake booster, that was around last august.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

sounds like there is air in the lines. i am not the best to diagnose this but did you bleed the lines properly?

bad master cylinder or bad brake booster. the fact it wants to stall the motor sounds more like a vacuum leak in the brake booster, but if you're not sure... guess what... SEE A MECHANIC! that's why they get paid.

water in brake lines make it turn milky which is BAADD

also means maybe the master cylinder spent some time outside in the rain before you got your paws on it. Like I said... see a mechanic.
