No pedal after full brake system bleed?

No pedal after full brake system bleed?
I recently removed all brake assemblies; rotors, pads, calipers in order to paint them properly. They were off for 3 days in which my entire brake system bleed out. After reinstalling everything I did a full system bleed with fresh fluid. I got full pedal back when I was done. One week later I mounted my rims and took the car for the first drive since the bleed. The pedal went to the floor and I have little to no
braking present. I bleed the system with the car off and had a full pedal but now I have no pedal when I went to drive it. Any thoughts? Not sure if it has something to do with the abs system that you need to bleed with the vehicle running or not that's my only thought.
Thanks

4 best results, provide more infor, yr, what and how you did the bleed etc. It's a simple job w/good results only if you do it right. It's impossible to tell from your abreviated description.

2004 MT with 24K, standard bleed process performed started at the driver rear and went around the car counterclockwise. Friend in the driver seat pumping and holding while i crack the bleeder and tighten it before his foot reached the floor, rinsed and repeated until no air came out of any lines. The reservoir was completely empty when we started and I did not think to either leave the car on for the ABS or to bleed the master cylinder. Not sure if either of those are the culprit will find out when i try again tomorrow.
