Status: offline 		Today I had a new big problem with my 3200 GT Maserati. After a few moment of driving the accelerator pedal doesn't responding and I can't accelerate more than 1500rpm. 

I left the car in the street because I can't driving it.

I have try to touch the connector under the accelerator pedal and also the white connector in passenger side but nothing.

Please help me!

I will try to do that tomorrow. V bird has already given to me all the procedures to reset the throttle.

But I don't understand what is this throttle? Can you tell me more?

I have done the throttle reset procedure and try to start the car after this morning but the car doesn't want to start.

I don't know what to do!

Have you tried the electrical reset I described in one of your previous threads?

If that doesn't work I guess you need to get it to a dealership or specialist

let us know the outcome

Status: offline 		I managed to start the car but I was driving very slowly because I can't accelerate and have more than 1500rpm.

I am not sure that the problem is the reset of the throttle.

can it be another problem because I have replaced the sparkplugs, the oil, the oil filter, the air filters and the fuel filter? Can it be a problem with one of theses points or can it be a batterry problem?

Status: offline 		have you tried resetting it? it's documented well on the forums, it might buy you a little more time or diagnose the problem.
