My internet went out for over a week. A week!
Idk much but this sounds like it could be a simple fix, maybe fuel injectors? Idk for certain tho, but cars don't usually just manifest a fatal issue out of nowhere like that.My car suddenly stopped working as I was pulling out of the grocery store parking lot. The gas pedal just... stopped working. Very abruptly. There was no resistance when I pressed it and the engine didn't rev. I had a mini panic attack and called home for some help because that had never happened to me before. Dad came over and fiddled with the car and the gas pedal started working again. We got the car home but the ride felt very shaky and the pedals didn't feel the same as before it happened. I've been needing a new car for a long time now anyway but that was the final nail in the coffin for me. I dont feel safe driving it anymore.
The best part is I go back to work tomorrow. thankfully my route to work is entirely within neighborhoods, no main roads at all. But still. Yikes.
Idk anything about how cars work. But this isnt this car's only issue. It's a 2011 model and its been heavily used since my brother initially got it back then, it was his first. Plus its too small for me and I can barely fit in it. I've been long overdue for a car that's more than a go-kart.Idk much but this sounds like it could be a simple fix, maybe fuel injectors?

Fair, idk this car so I can't really say anything. What kind of car is it, just curiousIdk anything about how cars work. But this isnt this car's only issue.

Ohh hope you feel better soon Jimmu...I'm sick again and six days and counting this time. I've gotta go in for a chest xray and some antibiotics tomorrow so hopefully those will help me.
