Ok, so I just bled the clutch and brakes, and took the car around the block. When bleeding the brakes, the pedal retained its pressure fine and got very, very firm. But when I was nearing the end of my block and wanted to slow down for the stop light, the pedal went to the floor and the brakes barely engaged. Messing with it again in my driveway, when the car is on and I pump the brakes, it will build pressure but then there is a hissing noise and as soon as I let of the brake it goes out again.
It seems like my vacuum booster is toast, but it was fine before I started work on the car and I don't see how I could have messed it up. Should I bleed the brakes again and see if that helps? It just seems wierd that the pedal stays firm when the car is off, but loses it when its on. I changed the brake lines and stuff so I know there was a lot of air in the system, I have bled it twice but I might not have done a sufficient job.
