Anybody have an idea about what's going on?
Ok a few things of note... how are you bleeding the system? when I have a troubled system I get second person.. person a sits in car and pushes down on the pedal, i then open the line. Close the line then call out for them to let up on the pedal. Call out for them to push down, then you open the bleeder screw. Crack it slowly to ensure you dont get the presure spray out the fitting, this can fake you out that there is air in the system... You contol the open and closeing of the bleeder and when they let up on the pedal... ONLY do 4-6 pumps before checking the brake fluid level...dont want to run dry and then suck more air...

Hope this helps
