Acceleration issue

Welcome to 2CarPros.

Did the check engine light stay on with the engine running? If it did, the first thing you need to do is check for diagnostic trouble codes. Most parts stores will do it for free, but since the vehicle is not safe to drive, see if they will lend or rent one to you.

Here is a quick video showing how one is used:

The first thing I would check is the throttle position sensor. Here are the directions for removal and replacement. I'm adding them to help you inspect it. Make sure the connector isn't damaged or loose. The attached pictures correlate with the directions.
