What is rwal? So, you had no pedal to start with? I'm trying to understand how you got to this point. Usually, no pedal means a leak (internal or external) If there's air in the system, you should be able to pump the pedal 5 or 6 times and feel pressure but it goes away if you let off of the pedal for a second or two and press again. A blown seal inside the Master Cylinder will cause a low or slowly dropping to the floor pedal too. More info about why and how you got to this point - we'll see what we can come up with

Replaced master and its gettin better but still like u described. pumps up after 3 or so but after a sec its goes down. everything works and it will stop but i cant find the air. Driver side caliper bleader is broken so blead at banjo fittin. Everything else is new accept booster. never had issues like this before n have done hundreds of brake jobs. this is a new one for me
