we had just returned from a meal out when the brakes failed to operate but the pedal is solid when pushed down and the engine kept stalling as if the hand brake was on, at the same time it was difficult to start the engine without high revs and choke. now i cannot keep the engine running

Sounds like your brake servo has failed, it would help if you specified car / model / year, stalling can be caused by many components failing, since you have a manual choke I guess your car is 15yrs + old ?

Not knowing the year of the car, I would say Vacuum problem caused by vehicles computor signal to braking system.

You have a bad vacuum leak. The vacuum line to the brake booster is a likely culprit.

the only reason you may desire to press the brake while your beginning a automobile is that if its a instruction manual an your on a hill, in threat of rolling while you attempt to initiate your automobile. automatics are likely to be began in park an there is not any could desire to press the brakes untill you placed it in kit.

check the servo pipe,, it goes from the brake servo to the inlet manifold,, if its leaking you should hear it sucking air when the engine is running
