Hi when i bought my car it wasnt running. When i finally got it running the brakes werent working correctly. Basically what its doing it I have to pump the brakes to stop fully and it doesn't really brake that well when i do pump it so i have to start brakeing from far away.

I tried replacing the brake master cylinder with a remanufactured one from advanced auto and i bled the brake lines out but not really getting any results. Im out of ideas had anyone had this problem before or think the know what it is? I don't wanna take it to toyota yet because just diagnosing it will cost an arm and a leg.

A friend of mine told me it could be the brake booster but wouldn't that just make the brakes hard and not be able to press in at all? PLEASE HELP ME lol i need a car again.

Maybe check the brake lines, might have air in there.

I just had a thought, have you looked for brake fluid that might be on your inner wheel well or inner rim? Maybe you have a bad brake line?
