When I press the gas pedal my car shuts off?
The car will stall if the valve is too clogged or when it finally fails. If, while holding the accelerator pedal down, a small amount of pressure keeps the car running at a stop, the idle control valve may require attention. In most late model cars, this problem will usually trigger the Check Engine light.
What would cause a vehicle to not accelerate?
If your vehicle’s fuel filter is dirty or clogged, this will prevent your engine from getting enough fuel. This can cause your vehicle to experience problems while trying to accelerate. A dirty air filter can also be the culprit. A dirty air filter cannot give the right air-fuel mixture resulting in slow acceleration.
Why does my car run when I release the gas pedal?
It would sometimes run normally if I release the gas pedal and press it again. What could be the problem? Thank you. It sounds like you may have an issue with your throttle position sensor. This sensor sends a reference voltage to your power-train control module, which uses that to determine ignition timing and fuel trims.
What happens to my car when I press the gas?
I still managed to get to work, but only after much struggle and pleading with my car. Now when I step on the pedal the engine doesnt rev and the RPMS seem to go DOWN, only until I floored the pedal and then they would jump to the 4-5-6 thousand range with my car jumping forward with the sudden acceleration.

What to do if your fuel pump is not working?
A faulty fuel pump will not push the gas needed into the lines and to the engine. Again, if this is the case, all of the throttle components may be working correctly but seem as if they are not responding. To repair the fuel pump, you will want to drop the tank or access it through the access panel (if equipped).
