My car starts and idles fine, but when I push the accelerator there is no
response. It will not rev nor does the rpm go up. I've checked all the fuses and
all were okay.

Hey CLAYBO75,

It sounds like you have an issue with the electronic throttle body control on your vehicle.

Do you have the check engine light illuminated?

If so please follow the guide below to check for fault codes:

Report back with the codes you have stored and we can run you through what to check.

Hope this helps.

Regards, Joe

I found the issue last night. The harness for the pedal position sensor had a bad connection.
