That sounds suspiciously like fuel starved. Make sure you're getting enough fuel to the injectors. Check for plugged injectors or dirty fuel filter.

How do you know if your clutch is no good?

A major indicator would be when you push the clutch in, you can't shift your transmission. Another one would be when you push the clutch pedal, it just goes straight to the floor with no resistance, or it doesn't push in at all.


Why does a gas pedal stick when trying to accelorate in a 2001 Nissan?

If it is sticking down, it may be your floor mat. There was a recall on the 2002 SE-R b/c the tab that was supposed to hold the floor mat in place was faulty and it would slide forward and push down on the gas pedal.

Can the brake booster cause your brake pedal to go to the floor?

No, a busted brake booster will not cause the brake pedal to go to the floor. It will however cause the brake pedal to be extremely hard to push. A defective master cylinder will cause what you describe. Replace the master cylinder and bleed the brakes. It can because it happened to me. The booster lost vaccum and the pedal went to the floor. Sorry, you are wrong. The only reason the pedal went to the floor was because the master cylinder failed. The brake booster only boosts the pressure on the master cylinder and allows you to not have to push so hard on the brake pedal. Cars of yesteryear did not even have a brake booster and they stopped just fine albeit you had to push the pedal allot harder than with power brakes. A failing brake booster will not cause your pedal to go to the floor although it might cause it to go lower than normal before the brakes apply. As long as the master cylinder is good you will still have brakes, but you will have to really push hard and might even have to pump them up in order for them to stop the car.

How can you shorten your jeep wrangler clutch pedal distance?

Not really, but if it seems like you have to push all the way to the floor to disengage try this. Check this first if the pedal seems to have some slack, there is a bushing on the pedal where the arm for the clutch master cylinder attaches, this gets worn out and you will have to push the clutch all the way to the floor to disengage, replace this bushing and you will have full pedal again, its a simple operation so anyone can do it. Note, ask for the bushing for the 2004 model, Jeep has its diagrams messed up and will give you the wrong one if you go earlier than that, it looks like a little black cage, pop it into the arm, then onto the stud on the pedal, it will lock into place and viola.
