Possibly dirty accelerator linkage or sticking throttle body butterfly. Clean all the linkage and the inside of the throttle body, paying close attention to the butterly. Use only a spray cleaner that is safe to use with emissions sensors. Do not use a product such as WD40.

How do particle accelerators help in performing artificial transmutations?

Sometimes artificial transmutations will not occur unless bombarding particles are moving at extremely high speeds, and since a particle accelerator can accelerate a particles speed very close to the speed of light, then you would have to use a particle accelerator to make the transmutation happen.


What is the fastest ever man made thing?

Satellites rotate around the earth at a high rate of speed. The fastest object we have created would be the particle accelerator.


How do you control speed or stop a vehicle which runs with cryogenic engine?

Such a vehicle does not exist. However should one be built (unlikely) it would need to have a speed control (accelerator) and means of stopping (brakes) incorporated as with all vehicles.


Why would a 1993 Ford Tempo die down and eventually cut off when stopped or in park unless you press on the accelerator?

The idling speed could be set too low.


Why would a car not get pickup while pressing the accelerator?

There are several possibilities: a clogged fuel line or fuel filter, a malfunctioning fuel pump, or a problem with the clutch and/or transmission that prevents a higher engine speed from causing increased wheel speed.


How far back in time would you go if you traveled the speed of light?

To an outside observer a person traveling at the speed of light would be frozen in time. To the person traveling at the speed of light, things would seem normal.


Why would Oil pressure drop when you let up on the accelerator of a 94 Thunderbird?

If by letting up on the accelerator you mean not hitting the gas pedal then it's normal your not increasing rpm that being said oil isn't being pumped through as fast as it would when hitting the gas so less oil being pumped through less oil pressure it's normal now if it's like dropping to zero there is a problem...


What is the average speed of a normal car?

I would say 110 mph but that is only an estimate.


Why would a linear accelerator have no effect on a neutron?

A linear accelerator works by having a magnet at the end of the accelerator. If the particle is neutral then it will not be attracted to the magnet and therefore nothing will happen, as in the case of a neutron.
