bad master cylinder,i know you just replaced it seperate the master from booster see if theres any fluid in or around the booster,it is not normal to have bubbles in the master,then rebleed the system,was it a rebuilt or OEM master cylinder i have had problems with rebuilts. good luck

hold on .................... I'll go look at my own 97..........................Ok, I didn't see a bleeder on the ABS and there may be a prcedure for this bleeding that I don't know as I haven't opened system yet. Always make sure the master cylinder is bench bled first and I see that one can be done on the vehicle.

It may need one of those clamp on pressure bleeders to really get the air out of the lines,
