Wow there could be a host of things that went wrong, do you have the check engine light on ? if so that will need to be scanned to guide you to what is broken !

When the car wouldn't accelerate, I saw one light blink on and then go off. I stayed in the car with a/c running for 15 to 20 minutes until help came. Car towed. Diagnosed bad electrical harness (thought mice chewed)--no evidence. Replaced the harness and then they said it needed an ABS Brake actuator, now they say it needs an ECM and that it probably got hit by lightning. Car is garage kept, always serviced by toyota dealer and has only 65,000 miles on it. The car is in perfect condition.
