My Brake Pedal Is Stiff And Car Won't Start. Hello, i have a 2002 mazda protege lx that is not starting. Justanswer is not responsible for posts.

We find that after the car sits overnight and goes to start it in the am that the brake pedal will only going down very little to be able to start the car. The ikey uses the brake switch to tell if you're pressing the brake when trying to start the car. Press the brake pedal and look for the brake lights.
