brake bleeding question

[EHB]

This might seem like a dumb question, but were the brake bleeders facing up on those front calipers? I've seen too many with the bleeder facing south cause this issue. Otherwise, get a second person to start the car and push the brakes. Watch the fluid level in the master cylinder. If the level rises when the brakes are pressed, then guaranteed failed master cylinder. As for the cooling system, there's a bleeder on top of the thermostat housing to bleed air...you can try using that. Or you can remove the thermostat housing and fill coolant the rest of the way through there...that'll eliminate the majority of it in the engine. Remove heater hose from alternator bracket and "beer bong" it with coolant to eliminate air in the heater core.

yes the caliper bleeders are up. and yes we used the bleeder for the coolant. haven't tried the methods your suggesting but i certainly will once we can start it again. thanks for the suggestion wicked and goat. much appreciated. this car is REALLY starting to frustrate me. never thought i'd be sinking this much into just to get it through inspection. i knew it had a few issues , like the need for brakes and rotors and the fuel leak , and i planned on replacing all the fluids and filter but it's starting to get ridiculous since i'm on a budget.

so far i've replaced or changed...
oil and filter
coolant (flushed), thermostat, pressure cap, top radiator hose
brake fluid , pads, rotors , emergency brake cable
transmission fluid, filter , trans coolant line
headlights and tailight assemblies
supercharger oil

things i know that need replaced that's not done yet...
fuel line from engine to filter
sway bar
tie rod end
power seat switch
rear view mirror

things that still need investigated...
heater doesn't work (any speed)
DIC not working
hud not working
ABS light on (cleaned sensors but don't know if that fixed it yet)
SRS light on.
one fog light not working

i just called my buddy and and asked him about the fuel line fix kit... he said it's so rusted it's beyond fixing it needs replaced... the new one is going to cost me about $160.
