Shift to a lower gear.
The driver was told to accelerate get faster because he was driving to slow.
That's a Ford for ya...next time buy a Chevy
Because, if the car is in neutral, you have no ability to accelerate pushing the gas pedal.
No. Slower driving generally results in better gas mileage.
Water in the gas
Because of friction
In urban (or city) driving , there is a lot of stop and go traffic. Each time you slow the car down, gas us used inefficiently, then you must accelerate again to get up to traffic speed again. In rural driving, it is mostly highway driving where consistent speeds are attained there fore providing the best energy efficiency.
throttle plate stuck? I'm not sure. When I'm driving, I take my foot off the gas and the car jerks and when I have to stop and I push on the brakes the car revs and jerks forward and occasionally stalls
Something is wrong
Are you going up a hill? Did you take your foot off the gas and is the compression of the engine slowing you down? Are your brakes sticking? Is your car getting the correct amount of air to fuel ratio? there are lots of reasons why a car would slow down while you're driving it. start with the easiest.
The car began to accelerate as the driver pushed the gas pedal to the floor.
I would like to know if there's something serious wrong with my car
