The 1st thing you need to do is have the engine control module scanned for fault codes.

SOURCE: it feels like gas isn't

Have the fuel pressure checked- this would determine if your fuel pump is working properly. Its really easy if you have a gauge. you might be able to rent one at a part store. or it could need a new fuel filter

There are many emission sensors in the car that will make the engine light come ON. Not to mention the big list of trouble codes for the engine light. The engine light code will give you a big clue of what's causing the accelerator pedal problem.


Best way to find out what's going on engine light is to have an auto-parts store hook up a engine code reader and tell you what the code means and the problem. Most auto-part store will do this for free.

Location fuel filter for mitsubshi colt 2007

This post says under the rear seat part of fuel pump

I would say find out from your parts supplier about the fuel filter they should be able to tell you if they have a direct replacement filter for your car. Other than the link, I have had many vehicles. Some were in the tank, behind the tank, under the car between the tank and engine compartment and in the engine compartment. you can follow the fuel lines from the tank to fuel rail and if you have a inline filter you should find it.
