Brakes problem
1998 Pontiac Grand Am 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic ~102k miles

the shop at the college im attending has a pressure bleeder that I used to bleed the breaks on my car, twice following the procedure abs, right-rear, left etc. Ive done it twice, the first time I got alot of air out, the second time nothing just clean fluid, of all the driving/braking the fluid doesn't seem to go down so I dont think it would be a leak yet it is still very spongy 2 valves on abs module, and all 4 tires have been bled both times, I dont know where else there could be air and im stumped

If you have let the brake fluid get too low in the brake fluid resevoir, you may have air trapped in the master cylinder and you should take it off and bench bleed it, then reinstall and redo the sequence.

To bleed the abs you need to use a scantool.
