When you bleed them, does LOTS of fluid come out EASILY? (like, if you open the screw, does it just run out all on its own?)
not that i recall no why
also since im here i had removed the intake and worked on the fuel rail and fuel injectors i put them back in and stuff but now shes running very rough what could that be

Because the way the rubber hoses fail is, they rust on the inside; and the rust makes the already tiny hole for the fluid to pass through, to disappear. Then when that happens, the 1000 psi or whatever that results from your foot on the brake, forces fluid through; but when you take your foot back off the brake, the fluid can't return, and the caliper gets held in the "operated" position.
Fluid SHOULD just drool all out of there all on its own. MASSIVE quantities should spurt out when bleeding with an assistant pushing the pedal. If it doesn't, it's probably because there's a blockage, which means you probably need new rubber hoses.
