I have a 92 Nissan Sentra Se that's been in the shop for several days. They tell me that my brakes are only working on the front passenger side and the rear driver side, but they don't understand why. I thought I would ask someone who knew what they were doing

Open one of the bleeder screws for the left front or right rear, then give it a short quick spurt of compressed air, then let it gravity bleed. When you pump the brake pedal be sure to not press it more than half way to the floor. Doing so will trip a valve that blocks two ports. Sounds like that's what has happened now.

Thank You very much! I have been gettin thrown in loops by Sears Auto for a week now, so this is a big relief. I will ask them if they have tried this yet. Hopefully this is what is wrong.
Thanks again! =)
