When I press the brake pedal to Start the car it’s very firm and car will not start.

That is not much to go on, but I would remove the battery and have it checked. So do you mean the engine will crank over and not run or the engine will not crank over (starter), Here are two videos to cover both situations.

Please upload a short video in your response of the problem, so I can see what's going on. Ken
