My Car Looses Acceleration While In Motion by Mspg: 5:24pm On Apr 29, 2023
It first started when I noticed the leakage of my gear oil, I took it for repairs and serviced the gear , the leakage had stopped too , but once in a while, when I'm in motion, I would notice that my car can't accelerate , the engine would still be working perfectly , A.c and other things are still working but the car will not accelerate until I match the brake and off the car then restart it again, the car will respond to accelerate again when I put it In drive...

After a while , the same thing repeats itself, while on the highway, I would just notice my car can't accelerate , I would have to quickly reduce the motion with the brake and find a way to get off the highway, then switch the engine off and start again for the acceleration to pick..

I just serviced the gear and it's not leaking again, please what could be causing this ?

Imagine you are overtaking on a highway with another vehicle coming with speed from the opposite lane, and your car suddenly loses acceleration...


Better park that car, and don't drive it until you have sorted out that issue..

but I guess, if its fuel pump, when it lost acceleration, the engine is supposed to go off , but instead the car engine would still be working, Ac would still be working perfectly but car acceleration pressure will reduce completely..

Once I manage to stop the car and switch the engine off and restart again, acceleration picks and continue moving, it might not stop again for a whole day and sometimes after few hours, the acceleration issue happens again.

Scan your car.. same happened to mine crv.. the road side guy hurried and a pump but persisted.. so I called my my car scanner Guy then he scanned the car and I found out it was the manifold that was a problem so I got the complete manifold and throttle body.
