    Default Bad Brakes

    G'day all,
    been having troubles with the brakes on my ute,
    the problem is that the pedal is really soft and touchy,
    only works half the stroke
    Has a full hard pedal when engine is not running,
    as soon as the engine is fired pedal is not good.
    parts replaced so far
    brake booster
    master cylinder
    proportioning valve
    new rotors and pad all around
    calipers have had new seals installed in front and new calipers in rear.
    Any thoughts or suggestion's???????

    Since you have replaced nearly everything. As suggested above, the brakes may need a proper bleeding. Do you have ABS?, if so you may need someone with a tech2 so the ABS actuators can be turned on to allow correct bleeding process.
    Are you loosing any brake fluid?, do you have a damaged brake hose that may be swelling under pressure?
