Default 94 accord brake hydraulics query

It's a 94 accord ex with abs, with mushy weak brakes, pedal to the floor to stop. Only 2 disks, one front and one rear, are warm, after a spin around the block. If the problrm is the master cylinder, is the front chamber for left front and right rear, or is it the other way? Could the abs cause these symptoms?
Thanks.

bleed them, check for leaks

What do you mean you have two disk brakes one in the front one in the back?

Two disks are warm, two are not. The fluid used to slowly leak with use of the car, but not lately since it's been sitting.

If theres leaks there is air = Crappy pedal feel(and actual stopping)

Leaks dont magically fix themselves. Unless you have elves living in your garage.

My neighbor says the master cylinder sections are for front and back brakes, not diagonally, like I surmised. Now I'm confused even more.

Default Brake cylinder solutions

Some master cyls have the front chamber for front brakes and the rear chamber for rear brakes. That way if you have a line leak, you still have "some" brakes left to get you home...

The brakes that are cold are not working to stop, or you would feel some heat. On the front of the car replace both wheel cylinders/calipers for equal braking, and bleed the air out.....it will show a big difference.

Then do the same for the back brakes.

If you need some help, get back with me. -Bob
