1- Check ports out under rim all round bowl.

2-Check tank fill level for required amount to with in 5/8" to top of over flow tube.

3-Make sure 1/4" fill tube is connected to over flow tube. From fill valve to overflow tube.

Below is a few details to go by I hope will be helpful for you to take care of this problem.

Under the rim of the bowl check the ports and make sure they are not stopped up. You can open them up with nail or pin to clean out ports.
Next check tank level and make sure the fill valve has a line run from it to top of the overflow tube. This line allows water to goe to bowl and tank to fill required amount needed.
Water in tank should be within 5/8" to top of over flow tube.

We have a pfister toilet and the water is running from the bottom of the tank

sounds like tank to bowl is loose. there are tank seals and a bowl to tank gasket. here is link may or may not be your model but will help you understand. Be careful tiightening bolts go only tight enough to revent leaks, bust the tank and you buy a new tiolet.

The water level in my Toto Drake toilet bowl is normal right after a flush, but often is very low a few hours later.

The bowl is cracked and is leaking down the drain. You will have to replace it. It may have cracked if the bowl hold-down bolts were overtightened, or the bowl was not able to sit flush (pardon the pun) on the floor. If the bowl rocks when it is first installed, instead of tightening the hold-down bolts, use a couple of tapered shims under the edge of it, then caulk to fill the gap and hide the shims.
Good luck.

American standard toilet doesnt always flush, water swirls around

There is a clog in the line. A plunger usually solves this problem, but you have to use a toilet plunger. Your local hardware store will give you the right tool ($13). If the plunger doesn't work, you need a toilet auger (also called a closet auger), which you can buy for less than $20.

I have a new American Standard Cadet 3 that was just installed. After flushing, the water fills into the bowl. However, after several minutes, the water in the bowl slowly drains away and is nearly gone....

Sorry for problem with new toilet.
You say water is leaking out of the bowl?

Toilets have 2 parts:
1) Tank: where water is stored for the flush and is sealed with a flapper.
2) Bowl: where water flushes down.

a) If tank is leaking water, then flapper is suspect. Replace flapper and see if that works.
Lift up flapper and run finger around rim to see if there is a rough spot that would indicate flush valve is defective, and needs replacement.
See typical flush valve

b) If bowl is leaking, that is very unusual and would indicate a crack in the porcelain.

If installer sold you the toilet, it is his responsibility to make good on product.
All products are guarantee against workmanship flaws.

Tiolet tops up tank every 10 minutes or so.

With the toilet tank topped off, turn off the water supply. Then put a generous amount of food coloring in the tank. Wait ten minutes. If you see colored water in the bowl it will confirm that the flapper is leaking and needs some adjustment or to be replaced.

The lever to flush the tiolet comes up too quickly. One has to keep it depressed to do a good flush.

Carefully remove the lid from the tank and set it down on a flat secure surface (lay it on some towels to prevent scratching or nicking. Inside the tank find the chain that runs from the flapper to the lifting bar. Adjust the lenght of the chain so the flapper raises to between 45 and 90 degrees of the drain. You may need to play around with the adjustment to get it just right. You don't need to cut the chain, just move the clip on chain. If this won't work the tank may not be filling to fill mark, which is about 1/4 below the overflow tube. Adjust float to get water to this level.

After flushing the tiolet the water level in the bowl returns but then starts to empty out through the trap again until it starts gluggin for about 10/15 seconds and then re-fills and is ok untill the next...

It sounds like your toilet is not vented properly. Either there is no vent pipe (which is not likely since it has worked properly for a while), or the vent is plugged. Possibly an animal or bird has gotten into the vent stack going out the roof of your house and plugged it. When the vent is plugged, the water in a trap or toilet bowl will get sucked out as the water from the flush goes down the drain. I would say to have someone check your venting.
Good luck.

Tiolet won't flush = water swirls but won't fully flush.

Mine does this too, from time to time. I've found that it usually means there's a plug somewhere down the line that you can't reach with a coathanger. Since I keep forgetting to buy a plunger, I use a johnny mop to vigorously poke in and out of the bottom hole until most of the water in the bowl is gone. After doing that, a couple flushes usually clears the line.

If that doesn't work, you'll probably need to use a snake on it.

Replace the flapper. It seem to have been damaged. It that does not cure the problem by itself you may have to replace the flapper seat also.
