Gas Pedal To The Floor Slow Acceleration

Generally not a diy job if you have a carburetor you may have a bad accelerator pump or power circuit.

Gas pedal to the floor slow acceleration.

I need to know whats wrong submitted. Replace accelerator pump or clean or replace the carburetort. The fuel filter may be clogged. Nothing at all besides a slight acceleration until we pulled off the road.

Drain the gas tank and flush with fresh gas and refill. A properly tuned car should spring to life when the driver presses the accelerator but some vehicles return only sluggish performance even with the gas pedal fully depressed. This is a common problem found especially in high mileage vehicles. I could push the pedal to the floor with little to no response and mostly no response.

The throttle which controls fuel and air supply to the engine and is also known as the accelerator or gas pedal is normally the right most floor pedal. Before you get too worried let s take a look at some of the possible easy fixes. When i push the gas pedal my car barely accelerates and when i push the gas pedal all the way to the floor it still accelerates very slow. This can cause the slow acceleration of the vehicle even with the accelerator pedal completely pressed making it unreliable when it s needed.

Your catalytic converter may be clogged. Modern vehicles feature a complex set of systems for delivering fuel to the engine and evacuating exhaust gasses and a failure of any. We were going up an incline and got cut off by another car and had to push on the brakes. Upon trying to resume accelerating we got no response from the gas pedal.

Sure the car is moving but it s ridiculously slow and you can tell that the engine is struggling to keep up.
