Default Brake Problems Need Help

I replaced by brake lines with braded lines. I blade the brakes starting at the passenger rear, drivers rear, front passenger and then the front drivers. I'm not getting any air when bleeding. You can pump the brakes and have a good pedal, but while the car is running and you hit the brakes they go to the floor. I have replaced the master cylinder with the same results. Can anyone tell me what I need to do next. Thanks

Did you pump the pedal a few times with the engine running and making sure the MC is full? When I replaced my pads I didn't have the system open but my pedal did go to the floor on the first push. After 3 or 4 pumps it was fine.

I just did this a couple weeks ago, it took four full pumps on brake pedal to the floor before I got any resistance, then I checked all bleed points again, bled just a touch more, then I was good to go. So if you only depressed pedal once or twice, keep doing it...
