    Acceleration problems

    Ok here is is jumped in the car this after noon. Hit the gas, car revs, but feels like the ebrake is on while driving. Of course the first thing I did was to check, but ebrake was not engaged.

    Getting dark here, but what other areas should I check?

    Check to see if the caliper is seized, try to remove it and see what happens.

    Maybe also try to adjust the ebrake cables - maybe it snapped and the shoes are seized? Unlikely - but it's somethin.

    I'd remove the wheel from the culprit, and take a look around.

      Jack it up and see if your wheels spin freely, could have a bad wheel bearing or something

        Also, after driving put your hand near each rotor to see if one seems ridiculously hotter than the rest. May be discolored too.
