One of the most important parts of the car, it controls the amount of air entering the engine through the handle connected to the pedal and diverts it to the combustion chamber. The accelerator pedal must enter a specific amount of air without increasing or decreasing in order to complete the combustion process in an optimal manner.

The gas pedal or its related parts may be subject to many malfunctions that may be catastrophic at times and may pose a threat to the lives of the driver and passengers

Accelerator pedal sensor:

The pedal contains what is called an accelerator pedal sensor, which measures the pressure on the accelerator pedal to allow the flow of an appropriate amount of air for the combustion process. If there is any defect in the amount of air sent for combustion, it may lead to damage to the sensor.

Signs that indicate a malfunction in the accelerator pedal sensor:

• - The delay in the car's response when pressing the accelerator pedal.
• - Notice the car vibrating when stopping without turning off the engine.
• - The car's slow response to increasing speed when pressing the pedal.
• - Increase in fuel consumption.
• - The car engine stops automatically when the car stops with the accelerator pedal body depressed.
• - The car is unable to move despite continuous pressure on the accelerator pedal. This is due to a difference in the amount of air entering the engine due to a malfunction or damage to the sensor.
• An alert indicator appears on the dashboard indicating a malfunction in the engine, which may be caused by the accelerator pedal sensor.
