Peddle is not holding. Peddle bleeds down, pump it up gets great peddle, but then when it sits for a few minutes I have to pump it back up. <O</O
Peddle feels better when engine is off than when on.

Sounds like there is air in the system. Try bleeding the brakes in this order, right rear, left rear, RABS module (bolted to inside of left frame rail about level with drivers feet), right front, left front.
