And I’m wondering if there are engineering whistleblowers on this site that I can chat with.
Spongy means air in the lines which means the lines need to be “bled.”
A hard pedal with decreased effectiveness sounds like your brake power-assist is failing. With the engine off you should feel this effect after pumping the pedal two or three times.
A hard spongy pedal seems contradictory.
Very few states give pedal force in lbs vs. pedal deflection standards, which I find rather unscientific.
IMHO, the middle 1⁄3 of pedal travel should go from no braking to max braking, for a 100 lb. driver. With a clutch, the middle 1⁄3 should go from no engagement to full engagement.
