Ok well either the pedal is stuck or your really out of vacuum. Either way removing the brake light switch from above the pedal will do the trick to get it started as once the pin is fully extended out the switch I thinks the brakes are on.

Get it started diet then reinstall the switch before driving or you’ll have permanent brake lights on.

There should still be sufficient pedal movement to allow the brake position sensor to register a pedal press, even without any vacuum in the circuit. It's likely the position sensor has simply failed, preventing the start. I expect the pedal is going down (it must have some free play) just not very much.

I would also start by removing the pedal sensor first, and go from there. ;)
 
Pop the switch out but leave plugged in. Put ignition on, if brake light are now on then the switch needs adjusted on its ratchet inside.

If no lights come on then switch is probably dead.

If lights do come on then attempt starting. Should work.

From memory it looks for brake pressure not brake light switch input.

any work done recently or just happened overnight kind of scenario?
