So does the brake pedal go to the floor?

Here's how to read the flashing-lamp codes...

Long flash - not part of the code.

Short flashes = first digit
short pause
Short flashes = second digit
long pause
next code, or repeat of the same code

The reason I explained that, is I suspect(?) that you have a code 1-8, which isn't 2 separate codes.

Is there fluid in the ABS reservoir? How about the brake fluid reservoir? Possibly you need to bleed them both to remove air from the 2 systems.

I'd bleed the brakes and bleed the ABS system.

Can you pump the pedal and get brakes to lock on the RF & LR wheels?

If not, then it probably isn't as simple as air in the system. Part of the system plugged up with corrosion? How long has it been since fresh brake fluid?

Ya I can get them to stop when I pump them twice and clean fluid comes out the other two and I bought the car with this problem thinking it was a easy fix

Your bleeder plugs can become choked w/ rust/dirt and will not allow bleeding. Remove and clean w/ fine wire.

good luck

I'm thinking the master cyl is gone? It is a diagonal system so one of the "lines" from the master is not getting pressure, pedal goes to the floor............

For now the "abs" is a distraction. I'd address it later by bleeding the abs unit as a start.
