It sounds like you have ABS issues to me also. Thats a pretty common problem. It takes forever, it being a long process is no exageration. Try this. Grab a friend, relative, or trunk monkey who ever is available. Cycle the key on and off, waiting about 10 seconds in between each, 6 to 8 times. the more the better. Open the bleeder screws, PUSH the fluid VERY SLOWLY through the lines. Bleed like you normaly would opening and closing the bleeders to avoid getting air in the system. DO NOT PUMP THE PEDAL AT ALL AT ANYTIME and keep the reservoir full. Your supposed to wait a minute in between pushes, but I've been able to do it waiting 15-20 sec in between. To check you should be able to hit it once and have a hard pedal. It might take 50 or more strokes of the pedal to get it right. So dont be expecting a good pedal after a few strokes of the pedal. You might get lucky but I doubt it. It's been awhile since Ive had to do it, but that should be everything. Oh and if I didnt mention, DO NOT PUMP THE PEDAL lol.
