brake goes to floor after replace master cyl

[realtech]

This is a 94 chevy corsica with ABS and I am having brake problems.
When I need to stop quickly, the brakes always seem to work fine. Although, when I am braking very slowly, such as pulling into a parking space, there is a good chance the pedal will go to the floor and I have no brakes other than parking brake.

I replaced the master cylinder with the same results. Next rebled the system including the two bleeders on the ABS system. I was sure to bleed the new master cylinder before I put it on the vehicle. I am not loosing any fluid nor does the wheel cylinders or calipers appear to be leaking. I am suspecting something in the ABS but I'm not too knowledgable of the ABS system. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am having the same problem with my 96'.......when I slowly press on the brakes..my rear brakes goes and my car skids...and my antilock kicks in.......i took it to a shop..they could not find any prob. with it, changed brake pads, cylinder....still same prob....checked abs system...nothing wrong......any advice.

I wil try to break down both at once.
GM has a bad habit of the wheel speed sensor going south. 1 of the 3 or 4 you car has.If you have a " bad reporting" wheel speed sensor the abs will drop out at a low speed and NOT trigger a code( trip the abs light) and the pedeal will feel low. If your ABS light is on YOU KNOW THE PROBLEM EXSISTS!
GM had a bad problem with the w/cyls. Rule of thumb is to swap out both rear whell cyls and "FLUSH" out both rear lines.Not just bleed them,get fresh new fluid out the bleders.

If the parking brake cable is hanging up a bit, it can cause the rear brakes to apply much more than they should, they lock up. On my car, I left the hand brake on the first click and didn't realize it until I hit my brakes while going around a corner. Put me sideways pretty quick, my ABS never kicked on though.
