Why is my car not accelerating?

Asked by Mcruz431 Feb 15, 2020 at 02:01 AM about the 2007 Toyota Camry LE

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a Toyota Camry 2007 and yesterday as
I was leaving work, I pressed on the
accelerator and it wouldn't accelerate but the
rpm would go up and once it would hit 5 rpm
it would make a somewhat loud "pop" noise
and push forward really fast and repeat, after
it did that about 4 times it started driving like
normal. I just got a new transmission so what
could it be?

If you just had a new transmission installed, I would say it was definitely related. Have the car towed back to the shop that did the work. You might still be under warranty.

I'm with TDolby, take this back to the shop that replaced the tranny, this is almost certainly transmission related.
