What causes the car to not accelerate when stepping on the gas pedal?
1 Answers
If it only happens briefly during ignition, it might be due to severe engine carbon deposits where the fuel is absorbed by impurities, making it feel like no fuel is being added and causing difficulty in ignition. If the issue persists, it could be caused by excessive gum deposits blocking the fuel line or a malfunctioning fuel pump. In severe cases, cleaning is necessary, and it is also recommended to use fuel additives like MAFRA Multiway Tablets to help dissolve fuel gum, clean the fuel system, and promote safe combustion by removing engine impurities. Here’s how to properly step on the gas pedal: When driving uphill or downhill: Do not press the gas pedal all the way when going uphill. When using a low gear, it’s generally best to press the pedal halfway. Similarly, avoid fully depressing the gas pedal when climbing a slope. If the engine does not respond with increased RPM even after pressing the gas pedal three-quarters of the way while driving, shift to a lower gear and then press the gas pedal to accelerate. When starting the car: Do not press the gas pedal all the way when starting the engine. It’s better to keep it slightly above idle throttle. When starting off, it’s advisable to apply a small amount of throttle just before the clutch engagement point, with the throttle opening at a moderate level. Releasing the clutch should be coordinated smoothly with pressing the gas pedal, ensuring quick and precise movements.
