Yes you can take this to your mechanic an have this properly fixed ,there is a sensor on your gas peddle an needs to be replaced an then the codes have to be be cleared ,this is a common problems with a lot of Toyotas but surely a easy fix ,the reason I say take it to a mechanic is because he gonna put a scanner on it an make sure that this is your problem
