Basically here is my problem whenever i hit the brake pedal, it goes to the floor, i have to pump it several times to get pedal pressure back up, and as soon as i let off again, it dies again., im not exactly sure when it started happening, i did my back brakes w/o bleeding them, and it started happening, but it also was happening when my front brakes were dying, so i replaced the front ones nad still didnt bleed them ( im a dummy ) well, i bleed them yesterday and its still doing it, but what i find wierd is that if i let my car sit for a few hours, i can get good pedal pressure for the first 10-15 min of driving, then it just takes a shit and gives out again, think its my master cylinder ? or should i bleed them again and see waht it yields ?
 
something similar happened to me when the brake fluid got a little low. I had a small leak that allowed enough fluid to drain that air got in the lines. i would say drain and re fill your entire system, or even just check fluid levels if you ahven't already.
 
bleed the brake lines, all four of them. theres defenitely an air that got in to the system. i had this problem when i took my caliper off, same exact thing happened. good luck..
