Miles listed not accurate oops. Boosted the car the other day and it worked fine, had to boost it again today with plans to go get a new battery and when in drive the throttle does not work at all.

Scan for codes may be the gas pedal or throttle body bad or a wiring issue. However, a bad or low battery may cause this as well.

Hello JANEL,

If you decide you would like to conduct the scan yourself here is a link to an article that features written step by step instructions and pictures explaining how to do the scan yourself. Also, I have included a link to our YouTube channel with a how to video on code scanning.

This is applicable even if your check engine light is not on.

Most scanners are inexpensive to purchase, you can purchase one online from sites like Amazon.com

Once you have the codes please get back to us so that we can further assist you. We are always happy to help.

Thank you for visiting 2CarPros.com.

Kindest regards,
