Vehicle has no brakes after changing the brake booster, adding new lines, recap brake fluid, bled, and fairly new master cylinder. The brakes goes right to the floor and you hear air. Can someone help me?

Hello,

This could be a problem with the vacuum hose going to your brake booster or the brake booster check valve. In the diagrams down below I have included a factory diagnostic troubleshooting flowchart for your vehicle's brake assist system as well as instructions for the removal and installation of the vacuum brake boost check valve and hose. Please go through these guides and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
Alex

If I can jump in here. does this car have ABS? if so you may need to have the ABS valve opened using a scan tool while bleeding to get the air out. This guide can help as well:

Please run down this guide and report back.
