Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Good day. I have a Toyota  camry  sportivo 03.
Couole of months back it started playing  up. My
car wint accelerate all together.  The Rpm wont go
beyond 2000. It did few times. But would run
perfectly after that. Yesterday  it did same again on
highway, but this time I kept driving @10kmph.
Finally I gave up and had to get my car towed.
Have anyone had same  issue. My mechanic cant
figure out what is wrong with it.

Any help will be appreciated.

My guess......Throttle Body Malfunction. Really need a Scan Tool to start the diagnosis. Absent said tool...not much advice I can offer.

Just a couple of thoughts. Catalytic converter clogged, if it has a throttle cable check it for proper adjustment. Unhook your negative battery cable for a couple of minutes then hook back up. This can reset the computer. good luck.
