Could be the accelerator cable is onit's way out, but could be something more serious. Need more info. Like how long been like this, have you done anything to it.......

That is most commonly caused by a vacuum leak, but can also be caused by a cam or crank sensor, throttle position sensor, map or maf sensor, if you have a check engine light on, that most likely will tell you your problem, if not, check all your vacuum hoses, brake booster, and egr valve, they are the most common places to find vacuum leaks

check all the electrical connections in the starting and charging circuits, if that doesn't work, test and or change the starter

Hello Edward: The two magic ingredients are spark at the plugs and fuel in the jugs. Pull a plug...... if it is wet there is no spark, if it is dry, there will be no fuel. There can be a lot of reasons for either problem, so let's try to figure out which one we're dealing with first. Cheerfuls!

i would have the battery loadstested first and the starter current draw tested before replacing the starter

check all the connections in the starting and charging circuits and all applicable fuses and relays if you find no problems, you may be in for a starter change

that sounds like you have either a bad engine ground or a bad starter begin by checking all the electrical connections in the starting and charging circuits

there is another fuse at the back of the radio , radio needs removing to check , if there are no lights etc on radio then i'd start there

Sounds like a bad or lose fuse. Take a look in the fuse panel and look for a loose fuse or blown fuse.

Here's what to do: 1. Use the pry tool to carefully pop up the window switch assembly from the door panel. Then, disconnect the wiring harness from the switch assembly. 2. Take out the two Phillips-head screws located under the armrest. 3. Use your pry tool to gently unclip the door panel from the door. Start at the bottom and work your way around the sides, being careful not to break the clips that hold the panel in place. 4. Lift the whole panel up to free it from the window sill. 5. Disconnect the wiring harnesses on the backside of the door panel by pressing the tabs and pulling the connectors apart. 6. Once the panel is off, you'll be able to see the speaker, which is held in place by screws. Take off these screws to free the speaker. 7. Disconnect the wiring harness from the speaker. 8. Connect the new speaker to the wiring harness and screw it into place. Then, put the door panel back on by reversing the steps above.

Hope this helps, let me know.

How did you test the battery? The fact that you jumped it and drove home with no problem tells you the battery is the problem.

the starter will be at the flyweel, typically at the 8 or 4 o'clock position.

Follow the large, positive battery cable to the starter.

I would say its the same fuse that the lights use. If the tail lights work, its probably not the fuse but the globe or the wiring to the globe or a poor earth.

There are micro switches around the frame (don't know where exactly) but these can fail
