Need help fast- 2002 Mazda Protege
Hey guys, I've got a problem: A friend had me work on her car and I would up replacing the rear calipers, hoses, pads and rotors. I didn't touch the front brakes, and I didn't run the master dry. Now, the car barely stops!! The back brakes work great, but now the front brakes are just barely working. You have to floor it to keep the car from moving with it idling in gear. I've bled the front brakes, and the back, bled them again and again, and it still barely stops. I am completely stumped now, no idea what to do. HELP!
Here's a few detail about the car: 2002 Mazda Protege, 2.0 5 cylinder, automatic, 4 wheel disk with ABS.

I found the problem- turns out there was a loose line at the master cylinder that was pulling air (ad leaking fluid), so I tightened it, bled the entire system, and the car now stops great!
