Thank you to the both of you for responding. There is an electronic box under the gas pedal, so I guess it is electronic wire type gas pedal.
Today I noticed a lot of acid erosion around the bottom of the battery, perhaps the alternator is overcharging and causing some electronic problem? This car has never given me any problems, but it is over 10yrs old and probably could use some new parts.
I tried turning on the A/C and headlights while the motor was idling, I was then able to get the rpms at a steady 2k, but if I tried for more, I would get pulsing up to 3k then back to .8k.
After I turned off the motor, I heard a hissing sound coming from the battery vent ports and noticed all the acid below. Perhaps I am having a voltage problem?
I read on other posts something about a voltage regulator and how if it is not working, your car will not be accelerating properly.
I'm pretty sure this job is beyond my ability. The alternator is located in a very tight spot. The radiator may need removal, etc... I might as well get everything replaced. I haven't had this car in the shop for anything, so I am nervous, but I do realize my limits.
