I changed the brake master cyclinder on my 94, 850. After bleeding the brakes, I took it for a spin and the brakes worked better than ever. Two hours later, however, when I began driving to work (two miles from my home) the car began dragging almost immidiately. I realized the brakes were locking and turned around. I tried it again a few hours later with the same result. Any ideas as to why brakes would lock?

Check and make sure it's correct master cylinder.?
The "rod" that comes out of vacuum booster may be pushing on master and applying brakes or not allowing it to release..
Barring that,check brake pedal return spring,etc.
HTH.
