Spongy Brakes (ABS) HELP!
I just replaced my MC and flushed the lines. My pedal was nice until I turned the car on. It sunk to the floor. I managed to pump it back up to about 3/4 pedal. Now, it's a little spongy and sometimes I have to give the pedal a quick tap to get the brakes to catch higher on the pedal. I prolly didn't bleed them in the right order, but even so, it shouldn't have done this. Do I need to bleed with the car on and the ABS pump running? I'm trying to find the chiltons but no one carries it and right now is a BAD time to try and order it from a book store!! LOL!
Please help me!

You must have gotten air into the ABS.This could be a problem. I have never gotten air into the ABS before soI don't know how to fix the problem but most manuals say that you will have to take it to someone who has "special equipment" to do the job.

I'm gonna see about bleeding the lines with the car on and the pump running.
I'll keep y'all posted.
