Default Breaking issue???

1995 Sidekick (Japan, not CAMI) 2 door Soft top │ 8 valve │ 4x4 │manual tranny │ RWAL system

Ok, this is my "situation". I had the feeling of pressure loss on brake pedal; since there was no leak anywhrere I changed the brake pump (master cylinder). When i replaced the pump for a replacement (Aisin) I could feel the pedal going down little by little. Then the mechanic thought the pump I brought (the new one) was damaged so I changed it for other one same brand (Aisin). I wennt to the shop this morning to see what was going on and the mech told me that he still feel pedal loss but much less than before. He was telling me that the Sidekick has too much of brake line lengh and he doesnt know if the "sort" pedal loss may be caused by that or by a valve under the master cylinder. The valve has a 4 pin connector (color green).

I ask to you people if you feel the brake pedal strong or while you have the pedal pressed you feel it like its reducing pressure.

For me is hard to explain first because of my language (Spanish) and second because i dont know that much about machanic and brake related issues.

However, my Sidekick brakes good with no delay or anything, I just feel the pedal pressure loss while I have the pedal pressed like for example when I am at a stop light.

Did he fully bleed the brakes? On my 95 Tracker, there is a bleeder screw on, I believe, the proportioning valve and a certain sequence to bleeding the system.

Yes, he bleeded the valve and he also checked the lines.

mine is hard as rock.
must be in all that stuff below master, the leak by.
manual says bleed right left rear (no right) and casually mentions
bleeding the dump valve first. ( says no special tricks with RWAL)
I assume all wheel cylinders are not leaking as are the lines.
(i know, first thing you checked, sorry if you have )

Is brack light stuck on? (rwal has codes too and its own diag conn and brain.)
