Car won't start

Hi - I am Dave, contributing to RepairPal and providing expert advice since 2010. The brake pedal is hard to push, because there is no vacuum built up in the system, being that the vehicle hasn't been run for a bit. However, the new start and "glitching" sounds like a low battery voltage issue. Have the engine's battery tested to see if it has enough power and can sustain a load. I bet you'll find out that it is not functioning to it's required level. https://repairpal.com/auto-repair-near-me Click the link to find some shops near you who can help out!
