Just pump the s!@# out of it, and see if it helps, but this to me sounds like a master cylinder problem, that is what happends when they go bad.

only brake fluid has ever been in the lines and resivoir.....
i talked to a guy at the dealership and he said i need to bench bleed the master cylinder since all the fluid was drained....

bench bleed the master cylinder then try gravity bleeding the brakes before pumping them up
fill the master cylinder full and crack all bleeders and let it drip and work out the air and keep the master cylinder full
then close them and bleed them again

i tried to bench bleed the master cylinder earlier....but i could only get fluid out of 2 of the lines....the 2 that are located on the front of the mater cylinder wouldnt put out anything at all...not even air...
so i think i am gonna replace the master cylinder with the original one and try again

spud see if you can get a hold of a forced fluid brake bleeder you pump it up and it has fluid in it pushes fluid through the brake system works all the air out,i have one at work and never fails

hey Spud. i had that problem with it only pushing out of the front holes. when i replaced the master cyl. on my fathers Neon i had to bench bleed the "new" one and only came out of the front one. on the old one it bled out both. so i took back the "new" and just bought the brake booster since it was the problem.

****e... I might have to do the same thing. I had a prop valve start squirting fluid all over the place. I was about to go bleed all the brake lines right now. I hope by some miracle I don't have the same problem. If Spud is having trouble with it, I can't imagine how much fun it would be for me to try.
