No you do not need to run the engine. To make the job easier if you can get another person to help you pump the brake and hold it down while you release the bleeding screw to let out the air at the brake caliper. Make sure that you have something to catch the driping brake fluid. Repeat this step a couple of time or unit there is no air coming out. You should just see a stream of brake fluid coming out without any gap in between. Do this to all the caliper of wheel cylinder that you had just replace the brakes.
yes .if you don.t it wll spill out
at a guess the brakes have still got air in the system and need bleeding properly
no
They probably are not very good, or they need to be used for a while
Anytime the check engine light or brake light comes on you should have it checked for safety reasons.
You need to change the timing chain on a 3.8 Commodore engine when it becomes worn out or it brakes. This is not considered routine maintenance.

I need a diagram of ford F350 drum brakes on 1996 model 460 engine 4 wheel drive
looks like you need to bleed your brakes they most likely have air in them and bleeding them should fix this
Yes, the brake fluid reservoir should never be let to go empty during the bleeding process.
If no air got into the abs hcu then bleeding the brakes is done just as it would be on other vehicles. If air did get into the hcu or if you disconnected any brake like at the master cylinder or hcu then you will need to take it to a ford dealership to have them bleed the hcu and brakes for you.
Your brakes need bleeding. And if you have antilock brakes, you should take it to a shop to bleed them. It takes special tools to bleed antilock brakes. If you have regular brakes you can bleed them yourself. Could go into further detail but would take too long to explain. Refer to a repair manual. Note: bleeding antilock brakes without first disconnecting the sensor will damage the sensor and the antilock function will no longer work (learned the hard way, unfortunately).
