SOURCE: Spongy brakes after bleeding them 2 times. Should I try to bleed the master cylinder or replace it?
Honestly your guess is as good as mine. But I don't think the master cylinder is NOT bad you still have air in the system. Get a big bottle of brake fluid bleed all four sides until you run out of fluid or your brakes work properly. You should divide the bottle's content in four, then use each quantity in each side. You'll be removing air and contaminated fluid from the system. Get a small hose that fits on the bleeders and an appropriate container. I have a good feeling if you do this your brakes will work just fine. I don't know how you are bleeding the brakes. I'll let you know the proper way just in case. This is a two man job, with the wheel off, have someone start the car. Have them pump the brakes a few times to get pressure. 1With the brake pedal UP open the bleeder, 2then have your assistant press the brake pedal all the way down and leave it completely pressed down. 3Close the bleeder valve, once close and only with the valve closed have'm release the brake. Repeat as necessary, bake depressed, open valve first then press brake. DO NOT depress until valve completly closed. Close valve THEN depress. Good Luck!
SOURCE: need part numbers for brake lines

SOURCE: brake pedal goes to floor on first depression; then pumps up fine
Try this,apply the emergency before stepping on the brake.
If this helps the pedal,the rear brakes are out of adjustment.
SOURCE: need a brake line diagram
LOOK INSIDE THE MASTER CYLINDER TAKE COVER OFF THERE IS TWO SECTIONS THE LARGER ONE IS FOR THE FRONT WHEELS AND SMALLER IS FOR REAR WHEELS YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO TRACE LINES FROM THERE
SOURCE: Brake Master Cylinder Push Rod Clearance
I'm not familiar with the Saturn but the Dodge has an adjuster on the end of the push-rod and if that's the case with the saturn a small tool can be bought that measures the clearance. PN: CP 2003. Try kttp://www.jegs.com/l
