Default Brakes HELP!!!!!

I have a 2000 Camry LE we have changed the rotors, brakes pads,and calipers and yet the drivers side caliper will stick. After bleeding the brakes I can step on the brake 3 or 4 times and by the 4th time the brake has stopped and yet the passenger side is still moving freely while in drive. After it locks up if I barely put any pressure on the brake pedal and I do mean very little pressure it will release and start moving. Any one have any ideas

Check the brake line flex hose that goes to the caliper for plugging.

We took it off and could blow thru it both ways but we have replaced it as well. I think the only thing that is left is the brake boost and the master cylinder.Please we need ideas, we have never came across this on any other vehicle. Could it be the master cylinder?

We did and even replaced it. Could it be the Master Cylinder? I think that is the only thing left for us to replace.

Does this brake issue happen engine on, off both. Brakes cold, hot, both?

The car have ABS?

Have tried opening the caliper bleeder screw on the locked brake to determine if this releases the brake.

There is something stated about the drivers side only locking up due to a bad master cylinder because it is the shortest line.

Also can be issues if the rod between booster and master cylinder is adjusted to more then zero clearance.

The car does not have ABS and both cold and hot. When the brake is locked we did open the bleeder valve and it did release. I was asking if it could be a bad Master Cylinder. It is definately only the drivers side. How do you find out if the rod between the master cylinder and booster is out of adjustment?
