What does it mean when my gas petal sticks when I accelerate?

It doesn't do all the time, but enough I need to get check, my brakes are fine, but I scared if petal gets stuck, I will not be able to stop the car

What does it mean when my gas petal sticks when I accelerate?
could be a broken motor mount
Reply:Could be dirty throttle plates in the throttle body or carburetor based on what kind of car you have.


Also could be a binding /sticking accelerator cable or linkage


also ,sometimes the floor mat will wedge under the accelerator pedal and cause this.





Take it in to a shop immediately for inspection and repair to avoid any potential accidents.
Reply:possible kink in the cable or the throttle is sticking at the injectors or carburetor or the petal itself.
Reply:You didnt really give enough information for a good answer. your answers will be diffirent if your car is fuel injected or has a carburetor.
Reply:that means the throtttle spring gets blocked by something else in your engine!!





if it happens, put the car in neutral!!!
