I was wondering if anyone could help me with some info. My mechanic has told me that the "PROPORTIONATE VALVE" is leaking like a siv, and that is why our brakes barely work. I have had a very hard time finding the part anywhere. While trying to find it, many Ford Parts people have said that this is a very un-common part to go and that is partially why they stopped making it over 6 years ago. Now my brother in law who is a mechanic with pratt and whitney, seems to think that it is really the master cylinder that is gone. Heres what happens when we try to drive the car. I barely have any brakes and the peddle goes almost right to the floor and the car takes like 10 feet to stop, yet if you pump the brakes in and out fast, several times, they get harder and the brakes work a little better and the car stops faster. Apparently the rear passenger side caliper is gone as well. Can anyone provide any insite into this or what they think. Thanx so much for the help in advance. Take care.
