guys, my brakes were soft. all the way to the floor soft. i bought a new master cylinder, bench bled it and installed it. bled all four wheels and it's still soft. with the master cylinder cover off, there is a geyser while pressing the brake pedal. what's wrong here? that shouldn't happen right? while bleeding the brakes at the wheels, the rear ones would shoot fluid out. the front ones just ran out around the bleeder screw. nothing shot out. do i have a pinched line? my ABS light is on when i turn the key on, does that have an impact on brake system bleeding?

If I remember correctly, you need a TechII or equivalent to appropiately bleed the ABS sysytem. The reason is so the tool can pulse the valves in the ABS unit and bleed it as well.
