Sorry if im being naughty for posting this in 2 sections but I know a lot of people only look at the specifics and I really need an answer as quick as possible.
Howdy im new on here and hello from the uk. I need help with the brakes on my 95 accord 2.2 es coupe. Disks all round and abs model. Its come up on a couple of forums but there doesnt seem to be a definitive explanation.

I got the car recently with mushy brakes and an abs fault that I traced to a bad sensor so I changed that and bled the abs and that cured the abs fault.

Next I bled the brakes with no joy but I did see a crack in one of the lines so I replaced that and the rear disks and pads then bled the system again. Brakes work really well but still mushy. I then did a pressure test and got a really firm pedal then when I turn on the engine the pedal drops to near the floor. so I drove it up the road and back and the brakes are sharp but when I stopped I could push the pedal right to the stop.

I then took the calipers off the hangers and cleaned and regreased the sliders so they move free and easy but still no good.

I tried putting light pressure on with the engine off and no movement then heavy pressure with the engine off with no movement. then I tried light pressure with the engine on and no movement.

I can build up good pressure with the engine off but as soon as I turn the engine on the pedal drops to near the floor then after a couple of light pumps I can push it to the floor. I cant figure it out and any help would be great thanks
