Hey guys, first time poster looking for some technical assistance here.
My 2007 accord euro is refusing to start. I'm not entirely sure if this is the cause of the problem, but anyway, everything worked fine before this morning when i tried starting the engine but accidentally used my right foot to slam the brakes on right after i turn the ignition while the starter motor just kicks in (i have noticed the starter taking a few more revs to get the engine going these past few weeks though). Thinking nothing unusual will come from the otherwise unorthodox startup, I just kept my foot planted while turning the ignition but the engine wouldn't start even after a good 7 seconds or so.
Every other attempt after that will lead to the start motor turning for 3 or 4 times and then speed up very rapidly and eventually after 5 or 6 ignition attempts (with some time separation between) the starter motor sounds like it just gives up after its first 2 turns. Also noticed since the first failed attempt, the brake pedal feels jammed in it's neutral position and requires huge force to press but still wont budge much (very unusual) and stays that way. The brake lights still come on when i try pressing the pedal down as much as it'll go.
Lights and other non-engine necessary electronics still work fine so I don't think it's battery related. Also don't think it's an immoboliser problem since i have tried with the immoboliser off and starting with the spare key. What do you guys think is screwing up? Any help would really be appreciated
Cheers
