Somestimes when driving the gas pedal stops working. Nothing happens, the car does not rev up when pushing the pedal. Somestimes the pedal will quickly start working again and other times it will stall. After sitting a few minutes it starts. Some days it runs fine with no problem. I put new plugs and air filter but its no better, can you please help?

I want to help you. You should have this checked immediately by a certified technician because it could be a safety issue. He or she will roadtest it to tell you what is wrong. It may be a simple part or adjustmennnt and I can't tell without driving whether it is an accelerator or engine or transmission failure. Be careful ok.
