look under the car and check the cable.
comes from above the tranny, goes back and connects to 2 other cables. First thing I would do is theck the cable and whatnot. I know that there is a spring back where the cable splits to create tension on the line, perhaps the spring is shot so you get no tension when you pull on it.

If the cable isnt broken, then you can tighten it up if you take off the trim on the ebrake inside of the car. There *should* be a nut or bolt, I forget which which the cable connects to. It shouldnt be too big a job.

got the same problem, my ebrake used to lock my tires solid even inmovement. Then one day I changed the brake pads myself, front and rear. From that day on my ebrake barely stops me in movement, it does hold the car from rolling back while parked though. I have just been too lazy to check it out.
