Barely applying pressure to the gas pedal results in the engine rev`ing out of control. I replaced the throttle control sensor to no avail! Any ideas?

2012 Honda Civic codes P2138, P2127, P1454, P0651 & P2422 all on, & car goes into limp mode after it's rained. If it's dry for a few days, the car drives as normal then acts up again after it rains?

You need a good auto-electrician to diagnose and fix that lot!

What the P2422 code means. The P2422 diagnostic trouble code is an indication that the vent valve of the evaporative emissions control system (EVAP) is stuck closed. The EVAP system reduces harmful pollutants, generated by the engine combustion process, from being expelled into the environment.P2422 OBD-II Trouble Code: Evaporative Emissions Control ...

The P2127 code means that the throttle or pedal position sensor switch E has a low input. The pedal position sensor is a sensor found on the gas pedal. The sensor tells the ECU when the gas pedal is depressed and how far it is depressed.

The P2138 trouble code indicates that the Engine Control Module has detected a malfunction within the D and/or E circuits of the throttle position sensor.

1997 mercury villager acting like its not vacuum advancing when I press on the gas pedal

I'm pretty sure your car does not use vacuum advance for the ignition timing. Timing is controlled by the PCM/ECM based on a lot of input from various sensors (engine temperature, air temperature, air flow, throttle position, engine load, RPM, etc.) You don't mention if the check engine light is on or if you've had codes read. What you need is to have the car diagnosed by a qualified technician with the electronic tools to help identify what's wrong.
Anything else is guesswork; could be fuel supply (fuel pump, fuel filter, injectors), could be back pressure in the exhaust system (catalytic converter plugged), could be EGR system, etc. Having the system diagnosed electronically will point to the problem without having to replace a bunch of parts that are not causing the problem.

It will not accelerate. I push on the gas and it won't go. I changed the oil a week ago and about a year ago i changed the fuel pump

Well an oil change is probably not the cause.
What IS it doing? You're telling me what it isn't doing...
Does the motor rev up?

My 2000 GMC/jimmy suv starts up but doesn't respond or rev up whenI push the accelerator pedal

Look for where the throttle cable connects at the throttle body. If you can move the throttle plate here and get the engine to respond, then the cable is either broken or disconnected at one end or the other. Any other situation doesn't seem likely.

Issue with throttle control on my 2003 Maxima

I discovered that its the throttle body sensor. Its not sensing the postion of the foot pedal. The throttle body has a sensor that is linked to your gas pedal via a cable. The spring that the repair man mentioned could be the issue. The sensor then communicates to the computer the position and then computer then applies fuel, the mass air sensor then will communicate to the computer and the computer will then allow more or less air to fuel ratio. So if your stomping on the gas and there is not any response, then your throttle body sensor is most likely going out.
