The type of car would be helpful. Carb. or fuel injected? In either case it may be the cable or linkage is broken or disconnected. If fuel injected, the throtle position sensor may be bad or unplugged. If the car has been sitting, rodents could have chewed through a wire. Computer is bad.

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.

What is an epc alarm?
The epc alarm on a VW Jetta is the electronic power control. When this light comes on it is to warn you of some sort of problem with the accelerator pedal control. This can come on because there is a serious problem or just because of a bad sensor, the best thing to do is to have a diagnostic test done to make sure there is nothing seriously wrong.

What is wrong with this 1985 celebrity 2.8 V6 2 barrel It starts and idles fine but when put into gear and press on the gas pedal it feels like you're running out of gas but once above 45 MPH its ok?
I would first look at the accelerator pump in the carburettor. The accelerator pump puts a short burst of raw gas into the air stream. This gives an enriched air flow into the engine causing acceleration. To check the accelerator pump: With the engine off remove the air filter and hold the choke valve open (if it is closed). Then move the accelerator linkage to open the throttle valve and you should be able to see a spray of raw gas into the venturi. If there is no spray then you need to make sure the linkage is working correctly. If the linkage is pushing the accelerator pump down and there is no spray you may consider replacing the accelerator pump.
