Soft brakes on first push
So I am having a problem with the brakes on my 2000 Camaro SS.
The first push of the brake pedal with the car on has little pressure, the brake pedal will go all the way to the floor. If I let off and immediately pump it I have solid pedal feel. If I drive for another 30 seconds and use the brakes again.. same symptom. It goes to the floor on the first push, second and third pushes feel solid and stop the car like it should.
I have bled all 4 corners 3 times now, any ideas on what it could be?

how are you bleeding? partner? solo bleeders?
Are you tapping the calipers hard with your hand or a wrench to get any trapped air out of there?
I had a similar problem (pedal went about halfway), used some ate superblue 5.1 fluid and a motive pressure bleeder, brakes feel awesome now!
