Brakes refuse to disengage (sometimes)

I have asked around and no one seems to be able to figure this one out. I have a 1997 ford tuares GL wagon. soon after i bought it the passenger side brakes would seize and refuse ti disengage. this only happened occasionally. the brake would vibrate and feel a bit squishy. once snow started to fall i noticed that when i hit the brake in snowfall the vibrate squish would happen every time. so i figured ABS problem right? nope. i removed the abs fuse and thought the problem had gone away. now its back and with a vengeance. it has now moved over to the driver side wheel (at least once) but never both wheels. here is what i have done to try and remedy the problem.
new calipers?---yep,twice
new rotors and pads?--oh ya you betcha!
bled them?---like a stuck pig i did.
checked for kinks?----did not find any
i hear the master cylinder might be the problem. but most everyone i talk to says it would have the opposite effect. (low pressure) what could cause the brake fluid back flow problem?
anyone? anyone?

Re: Engine Fire

What car and engine?
Check for other damage to.
Fire usuall gets wiring and fuel lines and other stuff.

Got good comp insurance?
If you have good comp insurance they will fix it for you?

Re: Engine Fire

insurance will not cover. It is a 1992 lumina apv with a 3.8 liter. it almost seems as if the injector is still working but is not sealed to the line. It looks like i may have to replace the plug wires and the belt but if i can get those injector's sealed i may be good to go.

Re: Engine Fire

it lookss as if though that last injector on the front part of the engine continues to spray gas whenever the key is turned to the on position. would it be the injector or the bridge it connects to?

Re: Engine Fire

If injector is still working and not the injector body leaking.
Replace the 2 o rings on it.
One on top goes to the fuel rail.
