My 97 Tarago did the same. Found it was a sensor near the air intake area, quite accessible under the passenger seat. It connects via a bulbuous screw in unit [valve]to the metal work of the engine with a tube to a small filter then connects to an electronic sensor. Unscrew the valve, disconnect from the sensor, and wash out the small hoses filter and valve with some fuel, Dry out reconnect and you will get your acceleration back. If anyone can help with the name of this unit, it would be easier to explain. Good Luck

My Previa was doing the exact same thing and it turned out to be a LOT of carbon deposits in the connecting passage between the throttle body and EGR valve. It just needed cleaning. That little passageway tends to get clogged on Previas a lot.

Please crank the engine again, and then remove all 4 spark plugs. Examine them & repost exactly what you see on the plugs.
