I recently had my brakes lock up on my 02 wrangler. I replaced the front rotor and calipers. I bled the brakes. I couldn't get any pressure. I re-bled several more times and still nothing. I logged onto this site and asked what I should do. I replaced my master cylinder. Then I repeated the bleeding several times with no change. I logged on again to this site and replaced the Brake Booster. I still can't get pressure. I have the pressure until I start the jeep and then the pedal just goes to the floor.

Optional Information:
2002 Jeep Wrangler Sport 4.0l L6

Already Tried:
Replaced caliper, rotors, master cylinder and brake booster

Go out and look at your calipers and determine if the bleeder is at a higher point than the the fluid hose.

Let me know

THe calipers are installed correctly. Everything is installed correctly. It has been checked and rechecked about a dozen times by several different people. We did discover that if we disconnect the vacuum hose we don't lose pressure with the engine running.....

Here's an idea. You're on this website to help people. Why don't you drop the attitude and answer the freaking question. I'm not a mechanic or I would have already fixed the damn problem. I'm just trying to give you as much information as I can so that I can resolve this issue. Thanks for nothing.

REPLIED to Info Request

I asked you to check something and you just blew it off without having any idea why I even asked you to check it.

I'll opt out of the question and we can see if anyone else wants to answer.

I didn't blow it off. When I said they were installed correctly it's because I checked them again like you said......
