My '04 GTX started fine and idled forward fine, but as soon as I started to accelerate, the engine would rev but there was no forward acceleration (and there was huge vibration coming from underneath). Looked up the intake grate and found a small piece of wood lodged. Removed it and everything is fine.

Question: why would it idle forward fine even with this piece of wood stuck in there? Is what propels it forward while idling different from what propels in forward once you accelearate?

Thank you.
 
The engine isnt effected. It will idle just fine. At all speeds including idle, the pump is moving water. At idle it just isnt thrusintg a lot of water, so an obstruction isnt as noticeable.
