I cannot keep pressure. No leaks, abs is unhooked. I have to pump to get pressure. Then to the floor. Any ideas? What am I missing? Brakes are usually pretty simple, but this ones got me.

I would check my master cylinder.
It has 2 parts one for the front and the 2en for the back
if u r holding on the brake and it keeps going down and builds when u pump it up. One of ruber seals could be bad and letting the fluid bleed off.

Dirt and rust in the master cylinder will cause this.
If u think this is what it is and u r game to try u could take it apart and give it a good cleaning.
I've done this a number of time and it has worked.
Hope this is some help
