Brake Problem?
-
Hey Guys,
I have a wierd problem with my eclipse. At leased once every drive my car wants to drag ass. By that I mean when I accelerate something seems to be holding it back. Engine revs as normal, turbo spools and I get boost as normal. It kinda feels like im driving with a ebrake on...but im not. And the wierd thing is it comes and goes as it wants. I had this prob with 2 diff turbos and I have a newer engine that SLS put in this last winter so I dont think its those. Im thinking its a brake problem. What would cause this? Air in the lines? Caliper freezing up? I dunno....I would think if a caliper was freezing it the car would want to pull to one side...but it dosent. It just does not want to move all around. One more wierd thing...when this happens both turbos I have had on it have started to spool eariler in the RPM range....like 400-500 RPM eariler. More load on engine from resistance = faster spool? I dunno. Help please!
Thanks

maybe your brakes in the back just stick sometimes when you use the e-brake. i know on my old car my brakes stuck every once in a while. i had to actually pump the brakes to get them to come loose before i got new ones. i dunno. thatd be the easiest answer i guess.

I'm seeing that the rear brakes on the dsm's are starting to freeze up and drag more and more now. Have those checked out. A good way to know if it is a brake problem...
get up to speed, put the vehicle in neutral and if it seems to still drag that way, Its more likely than not the brakes.
Best thing to do is have them inspected. Hell, bring them to me, Ill be able to figure it out. If not, im sure my buddy out in west fargo will be able to, he needs the business.
