Default brake problems

When i go to hit the brakes my pedal doesnt have any pressure until atleast half way to the floor. I bled the brakes on saturday and it didnt help at all. I dont know if it could be my master cylinder or what. My pads have only 10k on them so i dont think they would be the problem. Let me know what you think. Thanks
-Eric

If you apply a steady pressure on the pedal and it continues to sink slowly you probably need a master cylinder. If not check elsewhere like maybe a rear brake adjustment if you have drum brakes. Try depressing the pedal repeatedly with the engine running if the pedal seems to get harder you probably need to bleed the brakes more.

It does sink to the floor. I have bled the brakes many times and it doesnt help. I'm going to just replace the master cylinder. Thanks for the help. If you can think of any other things that it might me let me know.
