I had a brake line leaking. I knew because I had no brakes left. I replaced all of the lines from all four tires. Replaced the driver side wheel cylinder and the driver side caliper. I replaced the master cylinder and all the fittings. I bled all the lines and the master cylinder. When the vehicle is off I have good brakes. When the car is running I have NO brakes. What could be causing this problem.

Rear shoes are tight, brake light is not on. Will check the valve and try some more bleeding.
