Brake/ABS problem??
I had my calipers off for a while to have them powder coated and the front brake lines did leak some but the master never went down. Now I went to drive the car and it has no brakes, I power bled them three times and it didn't help. I can pump them up with the car off and they seem solid, but as soon as I start the car they go to the floor. I can pump up while its running but they don't hold. Did I get air in the ABS? Is a Tech 2 the only way to bleed the ABS?
TIA, Eric

no codes, I do have a manual but didn't think any air got in the master, but I will try that next. Since my lines leaked a little and the master didn't go down do you think it went to the ABS first and got air in there?

Tried bleeding one more time, still same thing but it did throw a code C1247. I'm gonna have to see if I can find someone with a tech 2 to come over and try and do it since I don't have enough brakes to drive it.
