just replaced front brakes because they were pulling to one side. got those on and bled the brakes and pedal was really spongy after bleeding. so i bought a master cylinder hoping that would fix it and went through the whole process of bleeding brakes and master cylinder and still pedal is really spongy have any advice

If there's no leak anywhere-could be a bad master cylinder or if you have an ABS unit could be coming from there.

You sure its not the M/C I've done new ones and end up being defective has an internal leak in it not maintaining the hydraulic pressure. Do you have an antilock brakes? If so could be it causing the problem. The sensor has nothing to do with a spongy brakes-
