Engine won't rev up

Hey All,

Thank all of you who posted to help me get into my trunk to re-charge my battery I used the hot post on the fuse box, thanks again.
I got the battery charged the car started but now it won't rev up, I push on the accelerator and it hesitates then barely revs up I had backed it out of the garage and almost couldn't get it back in. Thank goodness I have a flat driveway.
Any thoughts or suggestions, one thing I thought of is the vehicle is very low on fuel and it maybe stale.

Help again,
Dixter

That is possible. I would disconnect battery for 5 minutes then retry.

[sm=boohoo.gif]If I disconnect the battery,won't that reset the codes? If there are codes? Will it effect any thing when I disconnet for 5 minutes. The car is a pain in our behind,and I dont mean my back.

Thanks, Dixter

If the car has codes in the ECM, then they will stay there. The onlyones that will clear are the ones you dont care about.
First thing is to get your car running well. Then any codes that are causing a problem will reflag. Disconnecting battery forty minutes will do nothing detrimental to your vehicle. You would be amazed at how many problem this can cure.
