1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic a lot miles
I know close to nothing about cars short of how to drive one.. if i had the money I'd simply take it in to get it fixed but i simply do not..
Here is what happened.. i was driving down the road, and all of a sudden my gas pedal failed to work.. the car was still running however when i tried to give it gas i just wouldnt speed up.. after realizing something was wrong and turning my hazards on i looked for the closes place to pull my car into. as soon as i tried turning into a parking lot i noticed it had become increasingly difficult to turn the car, same is said to use the brake...
after doing a bit of research i had only found one other person with a similar problem but had not found out if or how they solved their issue.
people with similar stories seem to be able to start their car where as i can not.. it wont turn over, and some times when i try to do so something makes a popping sound some where.
I've asked people and they say stuff like " check the belt or the fluids " or something like that.. the only belt i know of is the one keeping my pants on..
like i said.. i know nothing about cars but do not have the money to take it in..
this book i have isnt helping much either because it throws all these fancy car terms at me and i dont have the faintest clue what it means..
some help please?
