Default 2002 Accord braking problem

I'm having some problems diagnosing a problem with the brakes on my Accord and was hoping someone here can help me out. Here's what I got:

2002 Accord, 4 door, 3.0L V6 with leather interior and a sunroof. I think that makes it an LX but I'm not sure.

The problem:
Braking power is severely degraded, car pulls hard to the left.
According to the wife this didn't happen suddenly but over the course of 10 to 20 miles.

What I've done so far:
Replaced the master cylinder.
Bleed the brakes.

While bleeding the brakes I noticed that I could not get any brake fluid to come out of the right front caliper bleeder port.
I loosened the tubing inside the fender well where the steel line connects to the rubber line and could not get any brake fluid to come out when the brake pedal was pressed.
Going further up to the ABS control module I loosened the tubing fitting there and pumped the brake pedal and nothing came out.

I don't know enough about ABS systems and the factory service manual I have is for the 4 cylinder model and has not been much help so far. There are only 2 pieces left to look at, the ABS control module and the proportioning valve. Both are a bit pricey and I would like to narrow it down a bit more before going out and buying more parts.

Any ideas? Any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks

Tom

First off, a 4-Door with the V6 and leather means you have an Accord EX; same as my 2001.

Regarding your braking; over the last few years I've had to replace all four of my brake calipers due to a similar issues.
