Replaced a brake line now I get brakes some times and sometimes not...crazy....bled them and the fronts wont seem to stay charged with fluid.....any ideas

The fuel pump works and I think the gas guage is on the same connection...am I wrong...when I changed my brake line I took the connector that is grey and on top of the tank accessable under the rear seat apart. Now it wont snap together...is that the reason the guage doesnt work...I am tired of running outta gas.plez help

Oh Ya '92 4Runner, 6 cyl, 4WD, standard

Yes, the fuel pump and gauge sending unit use the same connector. Fix it and your gauge should work.

Did you bleed the brakes in th epropper order?

Correct order is:

LR,
RR,
RF,
LF,
LSPV

Your brake master cylinder may have failed. Bleeding the brake hydraulic system can cause this failure. The piston in the master cylinder travels more when bleeding causing the seals to fail.

A symptom of this would be: you have a solid pedal (and brakining) when first applied, then while keeping pressure on the pedal, it starts sinking towards the floor. (It's an internal leak in the MC.)
