So you're saying your brake master cylinder was loose?

Yeah that would definitely cause a squishy brake pedal

If that's all the problem was then I wouldn't worry about that anymore. Oh and if you haven't bled the brakes since the reservoir ran empty then you should do that too. Air in your lines is not a good thing.

sigh... Just when I think everything is going great more problems. I turn the car on today and it was idling really really rough now. I dont have a clue what the problem is. I need to know ... the oil pressure and oil temp gauges dont work on my car. They actually havnt worked since I got the car... I need to know were they are so that I can check them. Remeber I need to know for both the tempature and the pressure. The car idles rough for some reason, seems like it wants to turn off but she doesn't. Seems to be overheating almost I dont know.. once again its dark and cold outside and my cold hinders me to what I can do outside.

Nismo the sender is on the side of the block near the starter for oil pressure. It has a rubber boot covering the plug. Make sure its connected nice and tight. Not too sure on the oil temp sender though. And when you get some light go around and check all your vacuum connections. You can spray soapy water (prefer bubble mixtue because of its viscosity) where all the vacuum lines connect to their connections and see if the rough idle starts to smooth out. Also follow the hoses and listen for any hissing noises. And make sure the intake boot and all its fitting are tight. This is really only important between the AFM and the TB, any cracks or loose connections there can cause you a rough idle.
