What causes Car Acceleration Problem?
These are the faults we most often find behind this symptom on cars driven in Hyderabad's heat and stop-go traffic:
- Throttle body carbon deposits causing sluggish throttle response
- Clogged catalytic converter creating exhaust backpressure
- Faulty throttle position sensor (TPS) giving wrong throttle signal to ECU
- Turbo actuator failure on turbocharged cars – boost not building
- Spark plug fouling (petrol cars) causing misfire under acceleration

Frequently asked questions
My car hesitates when I press the accelerator — what's causing it?
Hesitation on acceleration is usually caused by: a dirty throttle body (most common), worn spark plugs causing misfire when load increases, faulty throttle position sensor giving the ECU incorrect throttle data, or a partially clogged fuel filter. At Metre Per Second, we start with an OBD scan to check for fault codes, then physically test each system to confirm the diagnosis before any parts are replaced.
