The engine check light would come on. then i could restart the car a few times and id be fine for a few minutes. then go back to the same problem. now my car isn't stuck and won't accerlate at all now. I hear a clicking noise, when i press the pedal it goes away and my car begins to shake. my rpms don't go up Mechanic's Assistant: Does the light stay on, or does it blink? Stay on Mechanic's Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your car? 2009 kia borrego Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Borrego yourself? What have you tried so far? I was able to get it to auto zone to get the codes scanned and it told me that i need to replace the accelerator pedal position sensor. which i did and it has solved the problem
