Certainly going to need more information 1. does vehicle move at all 2. do RPM,s increase but vehicle speed does not increase 3. In neutral can you increase engine RPM,s

If your left foot is pressing the brake pedal the computer will shut down the throttle, that is a safety feature.

If this is a manual transmission, the clutch may be worm out.

Will it respond in any way to you depressing the accelerator pedal?

If it won’t respond in any way, it would suggest you have a problem with either one or more of the accelerator pedal position sensors or throttle position sensors

What pattern is there to this problem?
