Why does my car have no pedal response?

No Pedal Response, or Slow Acceleration: I Am in Dire Need of I am in dire need of assistance with diagnosing a strange symptom (my car is the coupe model) is doing. It all started on a drive to Utah from Arizona. We were going up an incline and got cut off by another car and had to push on the brakes.

What happens when you push the pedal to the floor?

Nothing at all, besides a slight acceleration until we pulled off the road. I could push the pedal to the floor with little to no response, and mostly no response. I turn the car off for a few minutes, started it up, and we were somewhat back to normal. It accelerated, but did not have power behind it.

Which is worse rough idle or perfect idle?

Very rough idle with a repetitive cycle that is smooth for a couple of seconds then misses badly, occasionally stalling. Worse problem is bad hesitation when accelerating after throttle at idle position, sometimes stalling. Worst after stationary idle, but also after moving at low to medium speed with closed throttle and then accelerating.

Is the drivig engine smooth at low idle?

So smooth you could balance a coin on the engine even at low idle revs of around 650 rpm. In fact drivig with the TPS disconnected is quite acceptable, except that automatic gear change down does not happen (as expected). Have had the car for approx 13 years and has been a great, reliable family car.

When your car engine runs as it should, everything should be smooth without any noise. When any number of things goes wrong, the engine can start running rough, especially while idling. By understanding the causes of a car engine that has a rough idle, you can resolve the issue easily.
