Brakes

I have a 1994 Honda Civic EX, 4 door automatic with approx 130k miles and ABS brakes. I have an intermittent brake problem where the brake pedal sometimes goes to the floor. I can drive in traffic and the brakes will hold for a few stops and then and at another stop, the brakes will hold for a few seconds and then drift to the floor. They will hold again after pumping a couple of times, and then the process repeats. I've bled all of the air out of the system, 1 wheel at a time. Is the master cylinder bad, or could air somehow be getting into the system in the course of stop-and-go traffic? Would this have anything to do with the "low pressure side" or the "high pressure side"?

You have a leak! Check the fluid level in the master cylinder. You will find the leak, by looking for wet spot on the insid of the tires! If no wet spots and no loss of fluid, the master is leaking internally!
