86000 Miles

Can Anyone help me out with this...

Thanks

first, the car has "drive by wire" so there is no mechanical connection from the pedal to the throttle.

seems odd, if jumping caused a short or somthing, it was fine till the next time you tried to drive it.

if in park or neutral, can you rev the engine by pushing the pedal?
can you hear it rev?
does the tach rev up?

in gear does it move at all? try forward & reverse?

 

I can reverese and shift the Gears but you know its moving with a low speed and I cannot get the acceleration

 

so the car will move, just not much more than a crawl?
auto or manual transmission?
are you in the correct gear? as in "D" drive not in a manual mode on the automatic?

Shift the trans to "N" or "P" or if manual in nuetral, can you freely rev the engine, like at least up to 5?

 

Yes Iam pretty sure that the I have shifted the Gear to Automatic D4 and the Then Tried D3 and then I have shifted the gear to Neutral and Parking and its the same,No matter what the gear it is on.This is the First Time Iam having problem with my Gas pad..

Exactly it just Crawls and its not picking up the Speed.

 

It's a 1996. It is NOT drive by wire.


Rammi, you'll probably get better info and shared experience in the First Gen Forums.

Here's the link to the main forum page:

a 96- I would be thinking transmission failure

 

Could be. Push the gas and you just go slow with out being able to gain speed.

 

oops, I was thinking 2006.

of course he posted in the 3rd generation forum.

1996 and it does not move, then just slowly walk away. probably cost more to fix than it is worth?

 

I was about to say, its the wrong gen forum should be in 2nd gen forum, but I guess ya'll figured that out.

 

gen 1 forum, dont confuse them with us gen2ers and our smooth flowing front end!

 

I'm going to go with transmission failure. His car is 11 years old so his warranty is gone, so I'm afraid he'll be looking to get it fixed or getting a new car.
