	Could be about a hundred things. Can you provide any additional information? __________________ Off to take on other challenges. Good luck everybody! See you around the Interwebs.

	Dude, you are indeed a patient man. If she (Lucia is the feminine form, so I am making this assumption) doesn't know enough to provide more information than she did, how can she expect to be able to fix anything wrong? I'm just asking. I don't mean any hate here; I was just passing through this forum and saw the post - do you often get these types of questions?

	Yeah, we get the occassional drive-by poster who puts up a nebulous question and never returns - at least as far as we can tell. Usually, they're guests, though. Lucia actually took the time to register, so I felt it was worth asking her (yes I agree with your assessment and assume she's female) to clarify the question. __________________ Off to take on other challenges.

	A little help from you does the engine increase rpm when you depress the accelerator petal. __________________ Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a pretty, pristine body but rather to come sliding in sideways, all used up and exclaiming, "Wow, what a ride!"

	1) You are supposed to start it first, put it in gear and release the clutch while . . . .. 2) is there petrol in the tank. 3) cable or linkage broken. 4) 1001 more reasons __________________ Never do today what you can put of until tomorrow - Student motto

	Hello lucia Explain what "it" refers to: The car? The accelerator? The house alongside? Another timewaster, it does appear. It is significant that the askers of these types of questions generally call themselves "Guest", and/or never return to the Topic with further information.

	Lucia, As your question is "What can I do?" I suggest that you could walk, cycle, get a cab or bus and even get a lift off a friend. Al __________________ If you remain calm while all those around you are losing their heads, then you haven't realised the seriousness of the situation

	You need a supercharger lucia, attached to your accelerator, preferably with a two speed gearbox. Check out my thread, all your answers are there. __________________ Take Care

	Im going to be a little less friendly than the other guys that are trying to help you. Check out the really stupid question you asked ? Are you on cheap drugs or just foolish ? You managed to find the best website to answere any and all technical questions and then you post a question like you did ??? Get your shit together and ask your question properly with backround info. and give us a clue such as to what did the car do before and what is different now ? __________________ What dosent kill you makes you stronger , lifes a trip so sit back and try to enjoy the nice scenery.

	The car doesn't move? Or the pedal doesn't move? __________________ If death came with a warning there would be a whole lot less of it.

	If the pedal doesn't move, check for an empty beer or gin bottle that may have rolled under there. __________________ The last fight was my fault. My wife asked "What's on the TV?" I said "Dust!"
