Car can not accelerate, cause and how to fix?
Cars running out of gas when accelerating or going uphill is not a very common phenomenon, but it causes a lot of trouble for drivers when encountered. Below are the causes leading to this situation.
1. Insufficient fuel supply to the combustion chamber
The first error is due to insufficient fuel supply to the combustion chamber, causing the vehicle to be sluggish, accelerate slowly and not be able to go fast. The reasons for insufficient fuel supply to the combustion chamber are:
Clogged fuel filter or fuel tank strainer.Fix:Renewed.
Weak fuel pump, not enough fuel to the carburetor or injector when the engine accelerates. The cause is usually a broken pump that is not working.Fix:Check the fuel pump, if the pressure is not up to standard, replace the pump.

A clogged fuel line is also a cause of the car not being able to run fast when accelerating. So, check the fuel line from the gas tank to the engine to see if there is a leak? If not, there may be a blockage inside, clean this line with an air compressor or replace a new fuel line.
2. Exhaust gas cannot escape outside
The next error that causes the car to not accelerate is that the exhaust gas cannot escape, causing the exhaust gas to be pushed back into the combustion chamber, affecting the engine's power.
The cause of the blockage is usually due to the catalyst overheating, leading to internal melting, reducing the ability of exhaust gas to flow through the catalyst.Fix:Remove the exhaust pipe and see if the engine runs well. If it runs well, the problem is this part and you should replace it.

The exhaust pipe is deformed, dented due to external impact, or clogged due to dirt inside the exhaust pipe not being able to escape.Fix:Check, replace if necessary.
