Car acceleration failure when stepping on the gas can be caused by: 1. Throttle malfunction or excessive carbon buildup; 2. Fuel supply system failure; 3. Poor fuel quality. The functions of the accelerator pedal are: 1. Controlling engine speed by adjusting pedal depression; 2. Regulating carburetor to determine engine output power. The working principle of the accelerator: When depressed, it directly controls the throttle valve - increasing its opening allows more air into the engine, prompting the ECU to command the fuel injection system to increase fuel delivery, thereby raising engine RPM and achieving vehicle acceleration.

What to Do When the Sagitar's Battery Dies and How to Start It?

Prepare a set of jumper cables. Connect one end of the cable to the positive terminal of the dead battery and the other end to the positive terminal of the rescue vehicle's battery. Use another cable to connect one end to the negative terminal of the rescue vehicle's battery and the other end to a metal part of the dead car's engine. After connecting the jumper cables, start the rescue vehicle's engine and slightly increase the engine speed. After about 5 minutes, the emergency charging for the dead car will be completed. Once the charging is done, remove the jumper cables in the reverse order of how they were connected.
