Accelerator simetimes fails to respond when you start the car, when put off for sometime and restarts it respond. Again at times when on wheel the car slows down with the accelerator not responding. In such situstions I wait a while restarts and it works. It also jerks while wheels. At least three mechanics have attempted maintaining it but it is still a problem. Please all forms of support needed. Thanks

It sounds like you have a throttle pedal position sensor that is going out but to be sure lets start by running the codes. Here is a guide to help us get started:

What did the other mechanics try or replace to fix the problem?

Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken
