Default Just in case there is some other brake guru on here. Bleeding my brakes is not working

I can get the rotors hot, but the pedal pretty much goes to the floor, that's my feeling and once there I get some brake action. I can't get ABS to activate (maybe not going fast enough?!)..

I've brought the wife out, and she did the 3 pedal pump and hold, multiple times per wheel, where there was nothing but fluid coming out. I then tested, same ****. I then did the ABS dance on all 4 corners again and took it for a spin

Same stuff. Very poor pedal feel, pedal does feel like it's almost hitting the floorboard, but the car stops.

I can't see there being air in the lines.

ABS pump observations:

ABS module, measuring blocks 002, then switch to basic settings, ABS pumps starts, loosen bleed screw , wait for maybe 5 seconds, and then tighten. ABS pump stops, I try it again and again.

"Front Brakes Stoptech 355's"
Drivers wheel (both screws), it pumps out of both calipers like a faucet, clear hose becaomes solid fluid.

Passenger wheel: It flows quite a bit at the beginning and then there is no more fluid, during the ABS test. Not sure why this is... If I close the bleed screw and start another ABS test, and open the screw, the same amount comes flying out and then stops..

Rears react the same as the passenger front. On ABS bleed, open screw, fluid comes pouring out, then it stops (not the ABS test, pump, but fluid). I can tighten and restart the test/bleed, loosen and fluid once again comes pouring out...
