Ok, when you say it does not accelerate, do you mean that the engine stays at idle rpms when trying to accelerate, or that the engine revs higher but vehicle does not respond and speed up?

It stays idleIt stays at idle rpmsI just have to wait for it to come to a stop then I turn it offWait for some minutes, then I start it againSometimes after I wait and put it on, it accelerates and other times it don’t respond at all

HI Ok, the electronic throttle body needs to be replaced to resolve this and the new one will need to have the idle volume learn procedure done with scan tool This is a fairly common failure on this year Corollas

OkayWhen a technician checked it, he did a connection that enables the car to start when the gear is placed at Drive and the problem don’t happen when that connection is made

Hello are you still here

HI I would have to know exactly what he did to the wiring in detail to be able to be of help on that.

Okay is the electronic throttle body same as the injector mouthI put them both online and they seem to display thesame picture

HI, Never heard it called an injector mouth. The electronic throttle body is bolted to the intake manifold and controls throttle response when you press the gas pedal

File attached (PTGSMSP)

Is this how it looks ?

HI yes, that is the throttle body

that’s what needs to be changed right

that is correct

If it’s cleaned can the problem be solved

HI about a 25% that will resolve it.
