It could be as simple as the link to the fule injection, or caberator, has become unattached. I wouldn't listen to "not the clutch" unless by "rev up" you mean drive. Because even an engine with no clutch attached would rev up if you step on the gas pedal. You step on the gas pedal and what happens? News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.

Make sure it's not the clutch. Well this did happen when I went to shift. And it seemed OK until I put the clutch in to shift but even when I let the clutch up, it didn't rev up when I put the gas. I'm hoping it makes it the mile to the mechanic  Of all times, right now is the worst time for car trouble. I'm supposed to go on vacation!  2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

Well it didn't respond for a few minutes with the clutch engaged/non engaged. I turned the car off and looked under the hood, but I have no idea what the fuck I'm even looking for When I started the car back up, I was able to drive it to park it. I wish it was as simple as I ran out of gas but I have seen the needle lower than it is now so I don't think that's it. I am nearing empty tho.[Edited 6/12/06 12:10pm] 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

Is that something I can see by looking under the hood or would that be under the car? I know the carb is in the engine but the fuel injection thing I'm not sure. 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

I managed to snap the accelerator cable that connects to the pedal once. The pedal had no pressure at all and no revs whatsoever.
I had to drive home using the choke Thank god it was a manual choke

I know the carb is in the engine but the fuel injection thing I'm not sure. a car would have a carberator OR a fuel injection device. Both sit on top of the engine. The linkage connects to the device on top of the engine and it also connects inside/underside where the gas pedal is. News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.

That's what I was thinking, maybe the throttle wire snapped.  "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind"-Dr Seuss

I got the news. The Distributor cap and rotor need to be replaced. This came on all of a sudden. I had no problems like this until yesterday. It's not going to cost me all four limbs either 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |
