Total Acceleration Failure

[jojojohn]

While driving I experienced a total lack of acceleration. the pedal felt as normal except that there was no power at all on pressing the accelerator pedal. I coasted to a halt and noticed that the engine was still ticking over. I selected neutral and the engine revved up as normal. I selected drive and the car drove away with no problems at all. This is the second time this has happened in the last two days. Any advice would be appreciated.

The car is a 2006 300C 5.7 Litre hemi.

Hi I would plu in a diagnostic see if any fault codes stored mate

You say that on pressing the accelerator you had no power. Was the engine revving or bogging down? If it was bogging down I imagine it would be a fuel or ignition issue. If the engine is revving but you're not accelerating then it would be a gearbox issue.

 

I had a similar problem on an old Vauxhall Carlton years ago. It was also intermittent, it turned out to be the airflow sensor on that big plastic tube that runs from the air filter box. Replaced that and problem solved. 

 

But first thing is get it on a diagnostic computer mate.
