I have a 1997benzs gas pedal not working

please go here: www.yourmechanic.com/question/engine-dies-when-I-take-my-foot-off-gas-pedal_____this should explain the whole problem. When engine is running there should be at least 14.2 volts at battery if not,alt may be bad.

Nothing. Your transmission/torque converter is stalling, loading the engine to its limit. It is how it is designed. If you really want to change it, you can purchase and install a 'high stall speed' torque converter. Check with a retailer who handles performance parts.

could have restricted fuel filter or faulty tps sensor.clogged fuel injectors bad contaminated gas.

just had problems with two of my cars replaced the oxygen sensor. EGR valve and lastly the Catalytic converter the both cars passed with flying colors

I assume this is the turbo version. If so, check the bypass valve (diaphragm often develops leaks) and ALL the hoses and connections.

get close to the rear of the car and have someone turn the key on should hear the pump cut on

I would say your rpm sending unit is bad. It may just be loose. You would have to check the wires to make sure.

Both toyota prius accelerator cases that I know of have been reported as flukes. the accellaration procces for the fuel and the hybrid models are completely different. plus the sticky pedal finding is a buy product from intense study from camry and the lexus version of camrys unattended excellaration probem, the sticky pedal will just not let of gas properly and also to be extremely rare not accelerating. Plus the hybrid versions are made in japan and if the did have the same pedal as a gas it would be made by denso the japanese pedal manufacturer, that has a heavier pedal it even has two more bolts compared to the american manufactured pedal that has been recalled. I personally build the highlander fuel version in Indiana It is an excellent vehicle i aswell own a 2010 that me an my family love youve got a great vehicle dont let abusers of a problem scare you of it.

1st think see if fuel filter is plugged, also is there a check eng. lite

I had the same exact problem with my 2003 Focus with 108,000 on it. Making right turns and accelerating was even worse. Had many ideas from differant mechanics saying it was wheel bearing, steering rack, loose heat shields, transmission...ect. Well after having wheel bearing replaced and steering rack replaced, the grinding was still there. It was finally discovered that the noise was coming from a bad motor mount on the right side. Had the dealer replace the motor motor mount and finally!!! the problem was solved. Thank God.
