I have a 1993 jeep cherokee. I replaced the pass. side caliper. I bled the brakes and when i pump the brakes the peddle gets hard and then release the peddle then press again it goes straight to the floor. What could cause this?

Air in the system, leakey line, faulty caliper, other faulty components, internal leak in the maser cyl. A lot of things could cause this.
Try bleeding the brakes again starting with the furthest away (right rear, then Left rear, Right front, then Left front). Make sure you get all air out, and make sure you are tightening the bleeder screw TIGHT before the pedal is released.
