The cause is a Solenoid in the transmisstion called TCC (or Torque Control?) it cost about $40 at the dealer and can be replaced easily by removing a black plastic cover behind the front wheel (you should remove the tire first) on the passenger side access the transmission side cover. remove the (I think) about 8 bolts and pull the cover and replace the solenoid.

You prove it is a solenoid by disconnecting the plug of the TCC (blue plug) and the symptom goes away.

Dealer charged me $220 but I could have done it by myself easily. Call me if you wish at 206-999-6107 to discuss. my Cavalier is 1991 2.2 L.

IT sounds like you may have a power brake booster leaking vaccume. Need to check rubber line going from booster to intake manifold for leaks. also need to put car in park with engine running,then push brake down and see if it fills hard or here a hissing sound. If so then replace brake booster. You may also have a engine miss check wires,plugs cap.

Why is it hard to push down brake pedal?

A hard brake pedal can be caused by several different factors. It can be as simple as the brake pedal getting caught on something to the power brake booster being bad. You could also have a brake pad or shoe that is sticking, causing the brake fluid to boil. When brake fluid boils, it expands and can cause the hard brake pedal that you feel. A brake pedal that is hard to press can also be caused by a build-up of water in the brake line. The water in the brake line lowers the boiling point of the brake fluid. A hard brake pedal can also be the result of a restriction in the brake line, such as a bent brake line or foreign material in the brake fluid. The most common cause of a hard brake pedal is the sticking brake pad or shoe, causing the brake fluid to boil. Tracking down what is causing the hard brake pedal can be frustrating, to say the least. Take the vehicle for a drive and when you come back, feel your brake lines near the wheels. Caution: The line may be very hot! If one is extremely hot, you may have just found the culprit causing the hard brake pedal.

What is cause of hard brake pedal on 1993 toyota'S 4runner?

The cause of hard brake pedal is malfunctioning brake booster. Check the hose from the intake manifold going to the brake booster for cracks or leakage, replace if necessary. Check the one way valve located in the middle of that hose, make sure the valve opens when you put pressure on one port.. If all those mentioned are ok, the booster itself needs to be replaced....
