Welcome to 2CarPros.

Whey say it won't accelerate, do you mean the engine doesn't rev or do you mean it goes but has little power?

Let me know. If it is low power, it could be a few things. First, my first suspect of a low power issue is related to the catalytic converter. If it is plugged, it will cause a large power lose.

Take a look through this link and let me know if it helps.
