Angry 2003 Brake issues

Hello. I have just replaced the front rotors, calipers and pads. Also bleed them. I have no pedal now, at least not while the car is running. Any ideas on what else I could check.
Appreciate any help.
Thanks,

No pedal= air in the system. Check all connections and make sure you reservoir is full, and bleed some more.

I had a similar problem when I replaced my rear calipers. I discovered I didn't tighten the banjo bolt (brake line to caliper) to 35 foot pounds, and it sucked in air into the brake lines. Once properly tightened I was able to bleed them and got a good pedal pump. You may still have air in the lines. Good luck!
