2000 GMC Jimmy Logo

When i try to accelerate from a stop or from any speed my jimmy

If I accelerate slowly from a stop. vehicle gradually picks up speed.. But if i put the pedal down hard it seems to choke, the rpms race up but no acceleration unless i let off the pedal to say half throttle.. this happens in any and every gear on town streets and on the interstate. Ive changed plugs and filters all to no prevail.. No problem reving the engine while in park, no stutter and no choking..

Try replacing the Mass Air Flow Sensor, it is in line from the air filter box to the carb. Could have come unplugged or gone bad. They are not made to be cleaned or touched inside (that usually leads to damaging it). Good luck.

Testimonial: "Thanx for guiding me in the right direction. I ended up just unplugging 2 connectors from the air cleaner assembly."

Mazda 323 fuel injection1994 accelerator problem

Try changing the fuel filter. If it clogs up the engine won't get the fuel it needs to run at wide throttle openings, the engine will ****** the timing, and you'll lose power. With less throttle the filter can flow well enough for the engine to run properly.

That may very well be correct.Asking for acceleration needs a strong spark and these parts will provide that.
All that for $242 installed? Great deal.

My car does not pick speed.

Try changing the spark plugs and spark plug wires and change the fuel filter if it hasn't been changed in a while.

Car accelerates very slowly at stops if you push too hard on the accelerator it does nothing if you go very slowly it eventually will pick up speed

You have tranny problem. Your tranny doesn't shift higher gear when the car stop, so have the machanic check it out.
