Your car wouldn't accelerate when you tried to drive away from a stop. A mechanic found that the throttle linkage—the mechanical connection between your gas pedal and engine—had broken and disconnected from the engine. The mechanic was able to reattach it and get your car working again. The fix involved reconnecting or replacing the throttle linkage cable or bracket.
