SECOND VISIT, CHANGED THROTTLE BODY, DID NOT SOLVE PROBLEM. SAID IT WAS PART OF A GROUP THAT NEEDS NEW COMPUTER, THAT DID NOT HELP EITHER, SAID IT MAY BE THE TRANSMISSION. PROBLEM STILL NOT SOLVED. TOYOTA TECH LINE TOLD THE LOCAL DEALER IT MUST BE A FLUKE JUST GIVE IT BACK TO THE CUSTOMER (ME). I GIVE A LOT OF CREDIT TO THE LOCAL DEALER SERVICE PERSONNEL, THEY TOLD ME THIS AND TOLD ME IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THEY ARE WORKING THE PROBLEM AND GAVE ME A LOANER CAR.
