Yeah, I know but we bought the car used and figured it couldnt hurt. Im not gettin any strong squirts when bleeding, only dribbles. Also, you have to pump the breaks to get any pressure at all.

You've introduced air into the system now that you didn't have before. You have to know how to bleed it properly. This has ABS brakes and it you got air into the ABS hydraulic unit, you may need a professional scan tool to bleed it electronically. A pressure bleeder is probably what you need now.
