Can I diagnose ABS?
Is ther some way to do it?
I've been through my brake system a million times, nothing is wrong with it that I can see...
I've checked things a million times, The only thing I can think is maybe the ABS is releasing pressure or something... Is the some way for me to test it?

Basic stuff....
How old'* the master cylinder? If it'* old, consider replacing. If it'* new, when you installed it did you bleed the cylinder itself on the bench before installing? I had a very similar issue with my T/A after I replaced the MC. Unbolted it and bench bleed it, bolted it back up and bleed each caliper, not it works great. You have an air pocket trapped somewhere and sounds like it'* right in the master cylinder.

Yep it'* a new MC, and it was bench bled,
New Pads, rotors and calipers rebuilt
New shoes
Had it bled by a shop to make sure I'm not a retard, they said it didn't even need bled.

How are bleeding down each caliper and wheel cylinder?
Best process I've found is to have someone in the car pressing and holding the brakes as I unscrew the bleeder. Use a piece of hose off the bleeder into a jar of clean brake fluid. And during the whole process NEVER let the master cylinder get low on fluid.
