Gas pedal is blocked. I can't push. The engine is fine and it runs like 5 to 10 MPH but I can't accelerate. It is blocked.

What should I do?

Hi there, try and operate the throttle at the throttle body(engine off) if it moves freely the problem is in the cable or the pedal, if the throttle body is jammed it may be stuck with sticky fuel residue, take off the induction and clean with throttle body spray, if this is not effective you will have to get a mechanic to inspect the tpi sensor this may be stuck, start here.
