after all the discussion here and on the "other site", i decided maybe my brakes weren't so good. crawled under and found my lspv was stuck.
so i decided to bypass it. was an easy job.
disconnected all lines at the lspv. connected the pressure line to the flex line.
disconnected the return line at the right front caliper and put in the fancy plug from yota
the lines in the back hold the flex line up ok
removing the lspv wasn't going easily, so i left it there.
brakes are much better now
