Help with bleeding brakes through the Motive Powerbleeder I just bled my brakes with my new motive power bleeder and it worked pretty good. There were some tiny bubbles coming out of my back right caliper but VERY slowly. I used a big bottle of valvoline DOT 4 and my brakes still feel spongy! I did them in order of RR, LR, RF, LF. What did I do wrong?

Air may be in your ABS system. I had the "incurable" spongy pedal with a mercury sable I once owned. Even the Haynes repair manual for that car skirted that repair and referred the reader to a dealer or garage. The car was eventually traded off and still had that problem. Maybe someone else will be able to advise you if that is your situation.

I think that may be the case. I bench bled my line lock before I put it on but it's still doing it. I'm thinking about throwing this ****** ABS module in the trash right now!
