Most likely its the throttle cable, if not I would check the linkage between the gas pedal and the throttle body.
sounds like typical transmission problem
whats the first step on repairing my 1993 Toyota truck 22re with a high idling problem thanks Brian
cause if its idling at zero rpm the motor is off ...
Year, make and model would help.
There could be several reasons that your 1995 Chevrolet pickup truck, will not accelerate and idles rough. The most common reason is a plugged fuel line.
that is a computer problem you will need the proper reader for it and that is about 4000 so just take it in it is only about 40-60 dollars and they will tune it right
If a car starts and idles but does not accelerate can be numerous problems such as a malfunctioning throttle position sensor, fuel regulator, Manifold Airflow sensor or vacuum leak. A diagnostics test will reveal what is malfunctioning and needs to be repaired.
Im having the same problem. Either the cold start things bad or the timings off or both...
I would first check your PCV valve, this was cracked on my 93' Celica GTS and caused that problem. It's very ease and cheep to fix. If this doesn't seem to be the cause of the problem I would check your air intake hose and vacuum lines.
Very good chance the spark arrester screen is clogged. Remove it and give it a good cleaning then replace. Pretty good chance that will fix it.
Check engine light is a problem sensed from the computer. You need to find a code that will tell you what the problem is. A local parts store may do the test for free. There is a way to do it at home but I need to look up the way to do it. The problem will be evident once you find the code. Mine is usually a connector that is loose or off. Some sensors being bad will set limits as to what the engine will do. Like the knock sensor will reduce power by up to 50 percent. So check out the code.
I had the same problem on my 98 Mazda 626 and the O2 sensor was faulty.....
