I had a brake line leaking. I knew because I had no brakes left. I replaced all of the lines from all four tires. Replaced the driver side wheel cylinder and the driver side caliper. I replaced the master cylinder and all the fittings. I bled all the lines and the master cylinder. When the vehicle is off I have good brakes. When the car is running I have NO brakes. What could be causing this problem.

Air in the system. Keep bleeding. Are the rear brake shoes tight? Is the brake light on the dash lit up? The porportioning valve could be stuck. My suggestion is keep bleeding.

Rear shoes are tight, brake light is not on. Will check the valve and try some more bleeding.
