Hi,

Recently my car listed above LX is having an issue where the car starts and idles. But when I press the gas pedal it just goes all the way down to the floor and the car just stays idling. But when manually revving the engine from throttle body it revs fine.

Hello my name is Dave.

It sounds like the most likely cause is throttle cable has broken, if it has you should be able to pull it out of it's casing from the throttle body at least enough to cause some slack. Another less likely cause could be a broken gas pedal which could cause slack in the cable also but either way to start the repair you would want to start by removing the gas pedal so when you do that you will have your answer. I hope this helps you find your problem. Please let us know what you find and thank you for using 2CarPros!
