Brake peddle firm until engine starts then goes to floor?

How come when you hit your brakes on your 91 explorer 2wd with rear abs the peddle went to the floor and the truck kinda sped up?
If your brake peddle goes to the floor, you have lost brake fluid from your master cylinder in the engine compartment. Check your rubber brake hoses at each of your wheels, look for any signs of leaking brake fluid at your wheels, connections,lines, and master cylinder.
Why is the brake peddle still soft after bleeding the system 2001 Maxima?
soft peddle feel maybe from a damaged brake master cylinder. this pressurizes the peddle, and if there is a leak in the cylinder it might feel soft or flop all the way to the floor.
How do you release emergency brake on a 1998 cutlass?

Why won't my brake lites work on a 2000 sunfire?
I had the same problem, on top of the brake peddle there is a switch that you have to replace, it is pretty clear with a flashlight, It knows when the peddle goes down, in my car it was white.
What causes your brake peddle to go to the floor with out stopping?
A leak in your brake line, or very low brake fluid, both of which are extremely dangerous and should be fixed at once.
Why would the brake peddle go to the floor on a 1999 daywoowhat would cause this to happen?
a leak or a bad master cylinder
Didn't take master cylinder cap off when pushing in caliper piston and now your brake peddle is spongy and goes to the floor what could be the problem?

How does a clutch break work?
If a truck has a clutch brake it would only be used when coming to a complete stop. By pushing the clutch peddle completely to the floor you would apply the clutch brake. This stops the clutch disc from spinning making it easier to shift into 1st or reverse gear. Normal shifting while driving you would not need to or want to push the clutch peddle to the floor to activate the clutch brake.
How do you know which fuse goes to your brake light there is no fuse diagram?
Remove and replace the fuses one at a time whilst pressing the brake peddle until the lights go out.
Why would your brake lights stay on at all times?
Your brake light switch is out of adjustment. Don't know what vehicle you have but most brake light switches are located on the brake peddle lever just above the brake peddle pad.
How do you know if the master cylinder has gone bad in a 1997 Chevy Corvette?
One sign is if you place you foot on the brake pedal and apply steady pressure, and the pedal slowing goes down toward the floor, the master cylinder is bad. As this car is 9 years old, when replacing the master cylinder, replace all the brake fluid in the entire system with fresh fluid from an unopened can. 1. It could have a leak at the master cylender. 2. the brake peddle slowly goes all the way to the floor.
