What could be causing a Toyota Camry (1997) to have weak and mushy brakes?
What is your question?
The brakes on my Toyota Camry (1997) are very weak and hit the floor without causing the car to quickly stop. When I push the brake pedal it stops at a certain point, but once I turn on the engine (my foot still applying pressure to the pedal) the pedal quickly goes all the way to the floor. From what I know and have heard, the pedal should not be moving just because the engine is turned on.
What could be causing this issue? From what I've read, it could be the brake fluid, master cylinder, or booster cylinder. The brake fluid isn't the issue, I've replaced the master cylinder and it seems to work exactly the way it should be, and I replaced the booster cylinder as well.
Could it possibly be anything with the ABS valve?

Hello, if your brake pedal hit's the floor, you either have:
-a serious leak
-air in the lines
-a master cylinder issue
Really not much more complex than that. Have a skilled tech near you evaluate and see what's going on.
