happened with my dads auto transmission.. it was shot and it wouldn't shift out of the 1st automatic gear, hence, not being able to accelerate over 20/ It could also be a tranmission tourque converter failing. Also could be a broken gear inside the tranny, which will not engage no matter what. I have one cause in mind, because it's often so obscure and difficult to diagnose, yet easy to fix. It's afflicted several cars I own. There are numerous possible causes, of course, like a coil that isn't feeding enough energy to the spark plugs, a choke that's stuck, a fuel pump that's not pumping, an electrical malfunction. But the one that comes to mind is a bad "sock' in the fuel tank. This "sock" is a toothpaste-tube-like fine screen in the fuel tank that is supposed to prevent small particles of junk from entering the fuel lines and the fuel pump. Over time, the pores of this thing can become absolutely restricted--I don't know whether it's a reaction to the gasoline, or whether it's a natural result of the material aging, or what. Result: Hardly enough fuel gets to the engine for it to run. And, of course, the faster you go, the more fuel you need, and the more noticable the restriction is. I've had this happen to two of my Fords, one of my Chevies, and a Buick that a friend had--though, at the time he had his problem, I didn't realize what it was, so we went through the usual routine of replacing fuel filters and fuel pumps. I'd say it happened to my Lincoln, too, but the sock in that car actually disintegrated and wound up being jammed to the carburetor's filter by the fuel pump. Yet in the case of the Lincoln, I couldn't get past 20 mph until the problem was solved by removing the tank, flushing it, reinstalling it, and installing an in-line filter between the tank and the fuel pump. In your case, if a sock is really the problem, I'd remove the fuel sending unit in the tank, chop the sock off, and install an in-line filter. Take this course if you've determined that the car is starving for fuel and you're sure the fuel pump isn't bad. One other possible symptom of this sock problem is observed when the car runs decently in cooler weather and starves for fuel in warmer weather. Another thing is, if you tried replacing your distributor cap and spark plugs. If you did not put them back on properly, the firing order is messed up and you'll have a hard time accelerating. Another cause could be a clogged, or partially clogged, catalytic convertor. Also, a collapsed interior wall of an exhaust pipe, in which case one might hear a whooshing sound as air tries to pass by the restriction.
ANSWER
Is the check engine light on? A bad speed sensor or possibly another sensor could keep the vehicle from up shifting or limiting speed to bring it home in "limp in mode" Possible bad catalytic converter.
Probably needs a fuel filter and a tune up, for starters.
If your car won't drive over 5 miles an hour, it needs to be repaired.
Speed (S) is described as the distance traveled (d) over the time (t) it takes to travel from one point to another. For example a car traveling 60 miles in 1 hour would be traveling 60miles/1hour = 60 miles per hour.
Safety feature is tripped, bring in the car to a shop.
well DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!!!!!!
after the antifreeze is gone the car will have trouble starting due to the lake of antifreeze witch is needed to help it cool down ur car is still over heated your car wont start because you probally blew a head gasket and (possibly warped the head) have water and oil mixing
If your car won't drive over 5 miles an hour, it needs to be repaired.
100 miles per hour then your car will blow up or over heat then blow up your choice
Start out early.
80 miles/hour
The car doors will not lock automated when going over 10 to 15 miles per hour
Miles per hour (MPH), or kilometres per hour (KPH) are time travelled by the car over a measured distance.
50 miles. Just over 1-hour.
After 1 hour the slower car will be 30 mph x 1 hour = 30 miles ahead of the faster car. The faster car is travelling 45 mph - 30 mph = 15 mph faster than the slower car and so will cover this 30 miles in 30 miles ÷ 15 mph = 2 hours at which point it will have caught the slower car and start to over take it.
32 miles per hour. The speed at which the car is travelling is the distance in miles that the car travels per hour. If the car travels 16 miles in 30 minutes it should then travel twice as far in one hour, since one hour is twice as long as 30 minutes (half an hour). So, the car travels 2 * 16 miles per hour, which equals 32 miles per hour.
well 40 miles per hour means that a car goes 40 miles in one hour... so if a car is going 80 miles in one hour and you divide the 80 and one hour by 2.. then you get 40 miles in 30 minures.. and the car is going 80 miles per hour.
A car going 60 miles per hour and a car going 20 miles an hour Does it have 12 times the momentun than the one going 20
The car's speed is 21.75 miles per hour.
