Default Brake Question

I just put steel braided brake lines and solo bleeders on my 02 Z28 with traction control. I bled the system really well when i did it to make sure that there were no leaks. When i finished the brakes felt great. A few days later they would grab real quick, then let off and then ide have to push the pedal down far to get it to stop. Found out that one of the lines was not tight enough. Fixed that. However now the brakes feel like i have to press them down far and dont feel very strong at first. Also the whole time after i did them I cant get the pedal to pump up. It will pump up and get stiff if the car is off, but running, I can push it to the floor all day long and it wont pump up?! Is this because ther may still be air in the line that i need to bleed? Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Air will get into the system at the area of the leak so you will need to bleed the brakes again.

I just bleed that wheel, and they are still spongy. Do I have to bleed all the wheels again?
