I have a diagnosis X for you guys. I replaced my front pads and machined my rotors at my Automotive college, but now the brakes go to the floor... but wait, it's not so simple. If I pump the brakes twice, I will have normal braking ability on the third pump every time.
If I leave my foot off the brake pedal for more than 2 seconds, the pressure is gone again, and I must pump them up again to stop.
Even with the slightest continual pedal pressure, I will still have normal brakes, but the pedal being fully released will lose pressure within 3 seconds.
NONE of my teacher or co-students have a clue, not even the crossfire specialist who is a brakes teacher! Any takers?

When you depressed the pistons, did you open the bleeder on the caliper or force the fluid back into the master cylender?
