If there is nothing mechanically binding, you most likely have a bad
brake booster. Sometimes, the boosters can fail bad enough to actually
pull the pedal down causing the brakes to drag.

Subject: brake pedal slow returning to resting position

I have been having an intermitent problem with my brake pedal.  When I
press on it the brakes work fine but sometimes  it is slow to return to
its normal resting position.  The problem seems to be related to hot
days so far as it only happend when it is above 30C or 86F.  Other than
that the brakes work fine.  Could this be related to a vaccum leak
somewhere?  I can help it along by pulling the pedal back up with my
foot.

Thanks.
