Gas pedal problem

[kalelclay]

Last night coming home from the movies I was doing about 55mph on the way home all of a sudden my car started losing power and it came back on like 2 seconds later. i pulledover inspected engine and everything seemed fine except for the accesory belts which I'm going to replace this weekend with timing belt. Well i drove car the car all the home and on my street it died so i tried starting it up again but to no avail. I was about 3 buildings away from my house so i pushed it into my parking lot. When i got into my parking lot I tried starting it again it started right up but the gas pedal wasn't working. I put it into 1st gave car a lil gas and there was nothing. anyone have ideas?

Fuel pump or clogged fuel filter? Do you have a way to check fuel pressure?

 

[kalelclay]

No but the guy helping me tomorrow with timing belt might be able to check it for me

I would figure out why it doesn't run and fix that problem before doing the timing belt. So as not to compound any problems.

The gas pedal is depressed

Broken cable?

I checked the throttle/acceralation cable it seemed that the throttle/acceralation cable from the gas pedal to the links box (black box with springs where cruise control and throttle/acceralation cables connect) were severely damaged/burned . I dont know how it happened i just purchased the car 3 months ago . I ordered a new throttle/acceralation cable and Links box (thats what dealer calls it) will install it tomorrow and let you guys know if that fixes the issue.

also where on the car is the fuel filter i spent hours on sunday looking for it ... sorry for the newbie question just got this car so i'm trying to figure it out.

yes it is

Why not just buy a shop manual for the car and find the fuel filter in there. I dont know anything about 2Gs so I cant help you out there.

Where your battery is, Look down on the right hand side on the firewall you will see it, or just follow the fuel rail hose going left to the fire wall.

Even with a messed up fuel filter it should be able to rev a little.

Problem fixed it was the acceralation/throttle cable wires. I purchased some from the stealership and the gas pedal feels a lil more responsive. Thanks for the quick replies.

I wanted to go the junk yard but I wasn't sure how easy it would be to find the car let alone if i found a similar car it if would still have the parts I needed.

acceralation cable from peddle to links box was 58 dollars
links box was 51
acceralation cable from box to throttle was 48 dollars

Give or take a few dollars.

Also i disconnected the cruise control
