Intermittent brake failure pulling to the left 91 C900S

Ok, I know this one sounds weird but here I go. This only seems to happen at night and in wet weather. After idling for an extended period of time say stop and go traffic in NYC and I pick up speed again, I notice a hard feeling in the brake pedal with lack of travel. Sort of like there is lots of pressure built up in the lines. What happens when brakes are applies is that only the front car dives drastically to the left like only the brakes on the left side of the car work. I don't need to tell anyone how bad the 91 C900S brakes can be because we all know they stink. I am thinking it is linked to the ABS system somehow as if the abs unit up front gets heated from the traffic and sort of locks up only the left side during stoppiing. If I stop the car and mash the pedal to the floor a few times, this sort of clears it up and works fine till it heats up again. Any ideas? Thanks. Matt
