I have a 1990 Acura Integra with a 1.8 litre engine. My brake pedal pushes all the way down to the floor and the pressure in the brake system is almost non existent. My brake fluid is full. I know it could be the master cylinder but how can I check to see if it is or not? Additionally I have two NON-ABS front transaxles but the car is ABS. The ABS light is on in the car. I've been told this doesn't matter but I don't know which master cylinder I need in case that's the problem. First I need help on how to determine whether my problem is a bubble in the brake line or if it is the master.

ABS light on because of wrong axles so ABS is deactivated and brakes revert to nonABS. So problem is piston seals in master cylinder unless system has been opened air is not a possibility. So replace master and have that stopping experience we all love
