Brakes problem
1995 Honda Civic 4 cyl Automatic 190000 miles

I have a honda civic 95 LX 4cyl 16 vavle car sedan, and ive been having this problem with the braking system, i had to replace the seals on the braking calipers because it was leaking, during the time i lost the whole thing, the car wont stop, i have to use the emergency brake to stop it. When i press the brake pedal, it comes right up, when the engine is off and i press the pedal there is pressure made in the pedal that if i keep pressing it will build up to the point that i cant press it, but when i press the brakes with the engine running, no pressure, the pedal goes to the floor, i checked the pump and it works ive seen it transfer the brake liquid to the lines and to the caliper. Due to time and work i haven't checked the whole thing but i think im missing something.

Check brake booster check valve and booster, if OK then Master Cylinder.

Make sure there are no leaks, in system, steel lines, rubber lines, calipers, wheel cylinders.
