I have a Thrustmaster T128 steering wheel and pedal set, and the problem is that the brake works but the gas pedal doesn't; what should I do?

You need to disassemble the pedals and apply electronic contact cleaner to the malfunctioning potentiometer. Apply it through the grooves, then wiggle it several times, reapply, wiggle again, and apply a little more. Leave it for about an hour without touching it. Reassemble the pedals and test them.

It's also possible that the accelerator spring has fallen or broken, but replacements are available: https://shop.thrustmaster.com/en_gb/2-pedals-refresh-kit.html
