Default abs brakes trouble

I've a 94 Civc LX sedan with abs. I just finished installing 4 fresh rotors and new brake pads all around. I spent almost an hour trying to seat my pads to the rotors and at low speeds and flat surfaces it's gravy. Drilled and Slotted rock!
My ABS light stays on and when I hit a hill at anything over 15 mph my pedal goes soft and I have to push it to the floor to stop. I've got fresh fluid and all my calipers have been bled. And yea they all have pads lol.

Any ideas?

Are you losing brake fluid anywhere? If not, rebleed the system. If that doesn't help, replace the master cylinder.

Na I'm not losing fluid. I'll rebleed them. I did replace the pads after I bled. (Long story) If I need to replace to master cylinder, should I think about replacing brake lines as well or just flushing the system?

I don't think the lines need to be replaced. A thorough bleed of all four wheels should suffice.

OK cool thanks. It also appears I bled in the wrong order. I went 1324. Hmm.. that could make a differenence apparently.
