As I was driving home, I came to a stop. When I depressed the accelerator to move, nothing happened. No gas was getting to the accelerator, the car wouldn’t move, but the engine was still running. So I shifted the car in park and back to drive and I began moving. This happened on several occasions.

What is the problem? The gas filter? The gas pump? The fuel injectors or The transmission?

Please help!!

Thanks, Nose.

It would help if we knew the model year and engine.

You may or may not have an electronic throttle.

When you depressed the accelerator, did the engine rev up?
