Have a 2000 S10 new brake pads front, new shoes and drums rear also new master cylinder. System has been bled twice and still pedal goes slowly to the floor. This was happening prior to the brake job also. I have pedal when the engine is off however once it cranks and you hit the brakes the pedal goes to the floor.

There are several things that could cause this issue. You for sure need to check for leaks, the master cylinder could be bad, and the booster could be bad. Could be as simple as a vacuum leak.

Turbochargers and GDI: A Winning Combination

Automakers have turned to turbochargers and GDI to boost fuel economy and horsepower – with less displacement.

The popularity of turbocharged gasoline engines has surged over the past 20 years. According to the Department of Energy, approximately 1% of all 2000-model-year light-duty vehicles were turbocharged. Fast-forward to today, and more than one-third of all light-duty vehicles are turbocharged.

So, why the rapid change? That’s simple: fuel-economy standards. Current CAFE standards call for automakers to increase the average fuel economy of their lineups to 54.5 mpg by 2025. To meet these regulations, automakers have needed to innovate. This innovation has led to the advent of new technologies that have changed the entire industry.
