Brakes problem
1998 Ford Explorer 4 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

the piston in the front passenger caliper broke and broke the rotor, I replaced 3 calipers all 4 rotors and then bled the breaks, pedal was very spongey. So I replaced the vac booster and master cylinder, bled the brakes again and while the truck is off theres pressure inb the pedal but as soon as I start it the pedal goes to the floor again. Im at a loss what else can I do? I tried putting the key to on and pushing the pedal then releasing it to reset the brakes but it did nothing

When you bled the brakes, did you start from the right rear and work to the closest to the master cylender? Have you checked to make sure the rubber hoses are not expanding when you hit the brakes?

Let me know.
