my engine did not start then when I got it started the accelerator did not work then the panel told me there was a problem , so I cleaned off the terminals off the battery and then started the engine and now the accelerator works , is this a electronic accelerator? it is a 2004 Dodge RAM 1500 SLT 5.7 Hemi

 

Please add your vehicle details so we know what we are working with.

This needs to be in the 3rd gen section - please move.

 

Which is why I kept asking about vehicle details....lol

Moved to the correct section.

 

Yes, it is "throttle by wire" The reason it worked after you cleaned the terminals is because you reset the ecm (engine computer). The actual throttle sensor is connected to the accelerator pedal under the dash. May be time for a new one, but I would wait until it wigs out again.
