What should I try next? 2012 Dodge caliber- not accelerating
What is your question?
A few weeks ago I was driving my caliber and the throttle body light started flashing and it acted like I was hitting the gas as hard as I could it would rev up and stay reved up (as if I was hitting the gas even when I wasent touching the gas at all). It was a pain but I could still drive it. I took it to get the codes read, and they said a few codes came up and that it was the acceleration sensor so I'd have to replace the pedal. I decided to wait a little bit(things have been tight money wise) and it wouldent constantly do it, it would happen randomly and sometimes stop when I turned the car off and turned it back on. well Friday I was driving home from work and the light came on again but this time instead of acting like I was petal to the metal its now acting like I'm not hitting the gas at all. I went maybe 2mph all the way home🤦 and now it's a constant as soon as I turn the car on the light is flashing, etc. I replaced the pedal and its still doing it. What should I try now?
What makes this problem better or worse?
When it's cold out at first now it's constant
