Default Son's CRX Brake Problem

My 20 year old son has a 90 CRX DX that had a brake master cyl. go bad and after replacing it the left front and right rear bleeders worked great. Right front and left rear wont hardly flow much at all. Brake pedal falls almost to floor after bleeding all four and driving.
Should I take brake porpotioning valve out and chuck it against a tree or get a new son ????

sounds like they might not have been bled properly. i'd try doing it again and make sure that you keep the reservoir filled so that no new air makes it into the lines.

Did you bend bleed the master cylinder before installing it on the car??

Also are you making sure that reservoir is FULL the entire bleeding process??

You only need to open the bleeder maybe a half turn!
