If there is no acceleration when pressing the gas pedal in drive, it could be due to several factors, such as a malfunctioning throttle body, a failed transmission, or a lack of fuel delivery from a clogged fuel filter or faulty fuel pump. Additionally, issues with the vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU) or a problem with the accelerator pedal position sensor could also prevent acceleration. It's important to diagnose the issue to ensure safe operation of the vehicle.
The gas pedal is commonly referred to as the "accelerator pedal." It is the pedal in a vehicle that controls the amount of fuel delivered to the engine, allowing the driver to increase the vehicle's speed. In most cars, it is located on the right side of the brake pedal.
