If the car seems to be sluggish when running and you have to push the pedal all the way down, my first guess to check would be the catalytic converter, when they go bad it seems like the car just doesn't want to go. This is just from my experience though.

Have 2002 s10 pickup when you press on the emergency brake pedal it goes down but wont stay down just pops back up?

The friction assembly that holds the pedal down is broken. Replacement of the complete e-brake pedal assembly is required. Your local Chevy dealer can get you that part for aprox $70 or you can try getting a used part from a salvage yard.

The clutch pedal usually squeaks where the clutch pedal is mounted under the dash. The clutch pedal pivots at its mounting point so it probaly just needs some lubed sprayed on it.


99 ford escort is not shifting easliy from park to reverse or drive have to press will all of your might to get it to shift what could be causing this?

Assuming you mean that you have to press the brake hard to get the vehicle to shift. Most newer vehicles have a safety switch that prevents the vehicle from getting "bumped" out of park. You have to press on the brake to get these vehicles to shift. A switch is connected to the brake pedal, and the switch sends current to a little relay allowing you to shift the gear. If the switch is adjusted wrong or if the master cylinder is adjusted wrong, you will have to work hard to get the pedal down far enough to activate the switch. It's usually a minor adjustment and shouldn't cost much. Many shops will do it for free, just to get you thinking highly of them.


My brake service light doesn't work and now my brake pedal is going all the way to the floor what is wrong?

By the way it sounds,its not good.You probably need new brake pads,front and back,but for sure the front first if you need to save money.You may just need to put more brake fluid in,or what people call bleed your brakes,not sure how that's done.Maybe just press brake pedal down till the tension catches and the brake pedal is hard to push.If that happens then you know your brakes are catching.good luck.

Why would you be unable to build any pressure on your clutch pedal after changing both slaves putting a kit in the masters and bleeding both?

Sometimes it is very hard to get all of the air out of the clutch. You just have to keep bleeding. Avoid pumping the pedal as that mixes air in the fluid. Just press it down one pump at a time and wait 5 seconds between pumps./
