While I was driving I had to stop on a hill and when I pushed the gas to accelerate it wouldnât move the engine just revved up and hasnât moved since just when you push on the gas and the rpmâs go up to 5-6 and it will move maybe a foot or so. There was no warning or messages that appeared before this happened and even now after itâs happens and itâs not showing any code to whatâs wrong with it. It affected my safety and others because it wouldnât move while in the middle of the road and I could have got in to a serious car accident because of it.

I got a P2138 code for Accelerator Pedal Sensor error. From what I have seen this is caused by the two sensors not matching. I have repaired this issue previously about 3 years ago, but it has happened again. This seems to be a common issue with GM cars of this era.
