Air in the brake system. Bleed the brakes again.
A spongy brake pedal after bleeding may be due to air still trapped in the brake lines, a leak in the system, or worn out brake components. It is important to thoroughly inspect and address these issues to ensure proper brake function and safety.

You probably have air in the brake hydraulic line. Bleed the air out of the brake lines.
Brakes may feel spongy after bleeding due to air bubbles trapped in the brake lines. Air in the brake system can cause a loss of pressure, resulting in a spongy feeling when you press the brake pedal. It is important to properly bleed the brakes to remove any air and ensure proper brake function.
A soft brake pedal can indicate several issues, such as air in the brake lines, which compresses and reduces the hydraulic force. It could also be due to a brake fluid leak, low brake fluid levels, or worn brake components like pads or rotors. Additionally, a failing master cylinder might not generate enough pressure, leading to a spongy feel. It's important to address this promptly, as it can compromise braking performance and safety.
Usually when a brake pedal feels more stiff than usual, there is a vacuum leak. The brake lines probably should be bled.
Try bleeding your brakes. If there is air in the system it can give a spongy feeling to your brake pedal and require you to pump your brakes and/or put your brake pedal to the floor.
Gas is compressible, which means it can compress under pressure and cause the brake pedal to feel spongy and reduce the braking efficiency. Liquids like brake fluid are used in brake systems because they are incompressible, ensuring a consistent and reliable transfer of force from the brake pedal to the brakes.
