Some think it may be the fuel pump or the filter,but with no feel to the pedal im wondering if thats the case.
If i am understanding your question correctly, when you push your gas petal down, there is no resistance to it or very little. If this is the case, I would raise the hood and track the linkage to the intake throttle body. there should be a spring on it to return the accelerator to the idle position. you may also look under the dash board above the gas petal as it may have a spring as well that will return it to the idle position.

Sounds like a good possibility that this is your problem. I am not real familiar with this particular vehicle, but most modern EFI vehicles have the fuel pumps inside the tank and the fuel filter will be somewhere inside the frame, underneath between the tank and engine. One thing to try is to take off the fuel cap and with ignition off have someone listen while turning the key to the on position, but not starting for a whirring noise which only lasts a couple of seconds until the system is pressurized.Then even harder to hear, start the engine and listen for a constant whirring. If neither of these tests produce the desired effect then your fuel pump is probably bad and the tank has to come out. You can have a pressure test done to confirm.

When you turn the key, does the starter turn? If you just hear a humming sound, then the arburture (the little gear in the starter) is turning but not ingagging into the flywheel (the big gear that turns your motor). Also, if it starts to turn the motor but then stops, it could be the starter as well, maybe the solenoid that attaches to the starter is starting to go. Hope this helps.

FIrst have you tried giving the engine a tune up (ie replaced the spark plugs)
Also you need to check the condition of all the vacumn lines on the engine loss of vacumn can cause poor idling.

Most common culprit is whats called the IAC or idle Air Control Valve. It maintains the vehicles engine idle speed when you are not pressing on the gas pedal. You can eithe clean the valve assembly by removing it from the throttle body so u can access the air passage also, or just replace it with a new one and a new gasket. b eusr eot clean the air pasage too since you have it off. the only other thing is to have a reputable repair facility runa full diagnostic test on the engine systems and see what they say.
I hope this helps.
