On cars with a carburetor you must press on the gas pedal to activate the choke, cars with fuel injection do not have a choke so this is not necessary.

Where did the idiom put the pedal to the medal come from?
To my understanding, the saying is rightly "put the pedal to the metal", and would come from pressing a car's accelerator all the way down to the metal flooring.

Why does the brake light come on when engaging the clutch - it goes off as soon as I release the clutch. It doesn't come on when I brake...?
There is ( or should be ) a switch on your brake pedal lever that tells your brake lights to come on. Could this switch be incorrectly mounted on your clutch pedal instead? Do you have a switch on each pedal? If you do the one on your clutch is so the car won't start unless the clutch is depressed. It might have the wires reversed or the switches might both be mounted on the wrong pedal.
Every now and then the brake lights turn on and the brake pedal is not being depressed whats going on?
Sticking Brake LightsI had this very same problem when I owned a Nissan 300zx. There is a switch in front of the brake pedal that when the brake pedal is pressed the metal part of the pedal presses down on a little button which turns the brake lights on when pressing the pedal. What I did was I got under the dash, took a flashlight and put a little piece of tape in between the pedal and the switch. It acted as a cushion because the pedal wasn't pushing down on the switch as it was pushing on the tape and when I pressed on the pedal the lights would come on but the tape pushed the pedal back to shut the switch off. If you want to avoid all this consider having your brake pedal adjusted. If your brake lights come on still consider having your cars wiring checked out.
Why does the brake pedal push back on you when you come to a stop?
This is because of the antilock brake systems, or ABS. When the ABS is activated in a vehicle it can feel like the pedal is pushing back at you when you stop or start to slowly press the brakes.

1993 Mercury Capri cuts off when clutch is depressed?
Sounds as if the clutch start switch under the dash may be at fault. It shouldn't start without depressing the clutch in the first place, and if the switch goes bad it will cause a cut-out with the start system. You may want to check for other wires under the dash that may look frayed. Look in and around the entire clutch pedal...sometimes a vital wire for the ignition system can come loose from its harness and after rubbing against the clutch pedal (metal part) as you puch down on the pedal it is possible to short out the ignition system causing a dead zone every time you depress the clutch. Make sure you depress the clutch pedal as you are looking under the dash and go through the entire throw of the pedal...checking any and all wiring in the general area of operation.
