I have an odd brake problem that I’d like help diagnosing (without needlessly throwing parts at the problem). I have a ’94 4.0 5/spd. with ABS. The first few times I apply the brake (after she sits a few hours or overnight) the pedal feels like it’s applying itself and abruptly stops the jeeps (even with very light pedal pressure). It will let up if I take my foot off the pedal, however. Sometimes it applies them hard enough to chirp the front tires. The ABS system seems to work fine and displays no trouble codes. After I apply the brakes a couple of times or pump them a couple of times before starting off, the problem goes away until she sits again overnight. Any ideas? I’ve never seen a worn booster give those symptoms, has anyone else? I was thinking about pulling/plugging the booster vacuum line first thing in the morning to see if the problem occurs with without the influence of the booster. Has anyone experienced this problem before?
Also, the brake fluid and pads are only 1 year old.
