it eventually speeds up after me pressing the gas after a while but it takes a little while for the car to do so ? what is wrong with the car and about how long do you think i have to fix the issue before something serious happens to the car and what is the result of me not fixing the issue like what could possibly happen to my car.

You need to retrieve the trouble code to find out what is wrong. Most parts stores provides free code reading. Do not rerplace anything first. Get the code and let me know what it is.
