Best Answer

The Master Cylinder is part of your Braking system. It is usually located on the Firewall of your car and holds the brake fluid which allows you to stop by pushing fluid against the caliper on your brakes when you put your foot on the pedal. The cylinders of an engine are usually referred to as combustion chambers, or simply the engine block.

That depends on which engine it is equipped with. The 2.5 liter has 4 cylinders, and the 3.1 & 3.3 Liter V6 have 6 cylinders. If you see 3 plug wires going to the engine that means it is a 6 cylinder. The other 3 are hidden on the back side of the engine. If you see 4, then you have a 4 cylinder. It also has two door lock cylinders and two real wheel cylinders. One trunk lock cylinder,one master cylinder and ign. cylinder.

If a pressure type brake fluid dispenser is available attach it to the top of the master cylinder. Other wise fill the master cylinder, start with the wheel cylinder that is furthermost from the master, and bleed until fluid comes out clean and free from bubbles. make sure to replenish the the master cylinder as needed. then proceed to the next farther wheel cylinder and repeat with the rest of the wheel cylinders. top off the master cylinder. Test with the engine off then with the engine running before driving.

This is a far reaching question that needs more clarification. There are cylinders where the pistons are located. If you have a clutch then you have a clutch master and slave cylinder. On the brakes you have a master cylinder and wheel cylinders. And the beat goes on. You need to distinguish as to which cylinder you are referring.

There is still no fluid pressure. Make sure that the master cylinder was bled as well as the wheel cylinders. New master cylinders can be tough to bleed all of the air out. The new master could be defective.


Where is the clutch master cylinder situated and how do you remove it?

Make of vehicle would help, but almost all clutch master cylinders are beside the brake master cylinder on the drivers side of the engine compartment on the firewall. The clutch is the one closer to the center of the car. There will be a pin on the inside that connects the rod in the master cylinder to the clutch pedal and two or four bolts holding it to the firewall.


Why does your Toyota 1990 pick-up master cylinder keep going out?

Logically if the Master Cylinder keeps failing there are only a certain amount of things coming into play here. Either you are buying defective products or the brake fluid is contaminated and causing the Master Cylinder to fail prematurely. Let's start with the Master Cylinders you are installing. I will not name suppliers but not all Master Cylinders are created equal. Some rebuilt Master Cylinders are defective right out of the box. I suggest you buy a NEW master cylinder. Before installing the new Master Cylinder flush all old brake fluid out of the entire system, install a new master cylinder and install fresh fluid from an unopened can. With a new master cylinder and fresh clean fluid, you should have no future problems.


How can you fix the mistake of putting engine oil in where the brake fluid goes?

If you only added engine oil to the master brake cylinder reservoir, remove the master cylinder and replace it with a new one. Engine oil in the brake system will destroy all rubber parts and seals, so if the engine oil worked its way to the calipers and wheel cylinders those would have to be replaced also.
