I was getting very little braking before no matter how much I pumped the pedal. I bled the brakes and the ABS unit and now it will have some braking action on the first pump, a little more on the next, and more on the next but it's still not even good let alone great.

This car has been sitting maybe 10 years so I'm guessing Master Cylinder but wanted some insight before I go replacing parts.

Thanks.

Bled the rear brakes more, but did more than just bleed, bled until new fluid was showing. Old fluid had lots of rust flakes and other particles and pedal feel improved alot. Now instead of the brakes working like dragging a stick on the ground it's more like a block of wood on the tire...
