A friend of mine has a 2001 chevy malibu and i guess he was trying to change his front pads. He took out his caliper bolts and his caliper wouldnt come out (he's making his first attempt at brakes so he didnt know about compressing the piston back in to its bore), so he undid his bolt that goes into the back of his caliper thats connected to his brake line. He lost fluid and still couldnt get the caliper off, so he put everything back together, filled up his brake fluid, and started his car. He pumped his brakes until they felt firm, stopped, and his car dies out. He's fine on fluid and his brake light isnt on, it just dies. When he restarts, the pedal is loose, he pumps, it gets firm again, then when he stops the car dies out. When its off the pedal is firm, but when he restarts, it gets loose again. Apparently it just keeps doing this. I have no idea whats wrong and i told him id try and find out, thus asking for your guys's expertise.
Anyone have any thoughts?
