While in a stand still mode the engine idles as normal: however when the accelerator is depressed there is no effect on the rpm of the engine. This is an intermitting proplem.....occurs only rarely, and after three-four accelerator depressions the problem goes away.....

Hi tedsford, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

Check and test the throttle position and clean out the MAf sensor with an approved cleaner.
