If it is an older model with a 4 barrel carborater remove the top of the air cleaner leave the motor off puch open the top flaps on the 4 barrels (back 2) and then take a screw driver and tap on the flaps at the bottom sounds like the secondary flaps are stuck open slightly this is common on older cars because they may have not been kick open in awhile.

How speed increases by pressing accelerator?
Pressing on the accelerator increases engine rpm (revolutions per minute) which in turn increases wheel/tire rpm which increases vehicle speed.
How do you start a warm fuel injection engine?
DO NOT try and try again. This leads to a dead battery and/or flooded engine. Instead, try lightly tapping the accelerator pedal ONCE while cranking the engine. If that doesn't work: Something is broken. Get it to a mechanic who can understand what is wrong.
Why when you start our car you have to have your foot on the accelerator pedal if not it won't start?
Try servicing the car... Fuel filter/Air filter and housing is the most common culprit. The car basically can't 'breathe' and pushing the accelerator forces the engine to run.
Daewoo Leganza 2000.When you start engine you get a 4000 rpm and don't stay less what can be a problem?
check your accelerator...
While driving my car the accelerator would not work when you push the gas. I turned the car off and it did not start back up again. whats the problem?
sounds to me like a fuel pump if the engine continued to run but accelerator did not work then check for broken or disconnected accelerator cable both at the pedal and the throttle plate
Does gas enter the engine when the car is off and you push the gas pedal?
If your engine has a carburetor, a small amount of fuel will be sprayed in to the intake manifold when accelerator is depressed, and engine isn't running. This is fuel stored in the accelerator pump reservoir to prevent hesitation. So if the engine isn't running, it will spray the first time accelerator pedal is pressed and it won't introduce additional fuel no matter how many times you press the gas pedal after the first press. The engine needs to be running for the accelerator pump well to refill. If your asking because you're wondering if pressing the gas pedal will flood the engine making it hard to start, the answer is No, it won't flood the engine. If your engine does not have a carburetor, then it's fuel injected. No fuel at all will enter the engine with the gas pedal pressed, engine not running. The engine has to be cranking (starter engaged to start engine) for the fuel system to operate. 0 chance of fuel if the engine is not cranking or running to activate fuel injection.
What happens when you add fuel to engine while car is running?
I assume you mean add fuel by pressing the accelerator. In which case the engine runs faster.
Is a broken or disconnected accelerator cable a likely cause of accelerator suddenly not working but engine is running fine?
Yes, a broken or disconnected accelerator cable is the likely cause for the accelerator pedal to quit working. The car will still run fine but will not be able to accelerate past idle.

How do you reset the light after you change your oil on a Chevy Tahoe?

Where is the throttle on a Mitsubishi montero engine?
Open your hood and have someone press and release the accelerator pedal while you look for movement at the end of one of the cables on the top of the engine. That is the throttle.
No acceleration while pressing down on accelerator?
If the engine is revving up, then the transmission is having problems. If the engine is not revving, then check the linkage from the accelerator to the throttle body.
What are examples of Acceleration by increasing speed?
-- Dropping a stone off the edge of a cliff.-- Flooring the "accelerator" pedal while keeping the wheel straight.-- The speed of a bottle rocket or a Delta rocket before their fuel is used up or engine is shut down.
Why does a KH auto laser not move when the engine is running and the accelerator is depressed wit hthe selector is in Drive or Reverse?
Perhaps you should take your foot off the brake and see if that helps ;-)
Why when you push the accelerator would your car blow a lot of smoke?
White smoke = Coolant leak, head gasket is the likely culprit. Blue smoke = Engine burning oil. Black smoke = Engine running too rich, wasting fuel.
