You need to have them power bled at a dealership due to the abs system.
The booster push rod is fully located into the master cyl right? I ask this cos someone on another forum had same symptom after bleeding and that was the cause. (pushrod not fully located, dont ask me how - Lol.) Other than that, maybe more bleeding required? Remember also: diagonal split system.
Also, if you have TC you can bleed the ABS pump yourself.
Forgot to add, you did bleed the master cyl first, right? - makes bleeding the rest quicker.

Did you purge the master cylinder before you installed it? ( bench bleed )

Yes. Every thing described was done. They were fine for abt one quick drive up the street. And that was all.

Synthetic is usually Dot 5. There may be a fluid compatability problem.

Thats why I asked. I heard your not suppose to mix silicon based DOT 5 with anything at all - that means to remove ANY trace of it, to the point of replacing calipers.
Then others say its not the biggest issue, that it will "float" above the Dot 3 & 4.

Ok i said i put a new master cylender in it. And its dot 3 flued. And its acting the same as before i put in synthetic.

How did you flush out all of the synth? According to those that say mixing is bad, even one drop - including that in the ABS pump, can cause major problems.
But if the fluids not the problem, gotta be air.
