Recently I bought a second hand car - Toyota Corolla 2000 LE. When I stop at signal and accelerates when it is green, it moves slowly though I give more acceleration than normal. It used to happen once in a while and I'm living with it.
Today, in traffic, when I'm climbing a small hill, it slowed down almost full when I was at 30mph. Fortunately, I managed to go top of that hill and got down and drove 2 miles to reach home without any problem though I stopped at signals. This is the first time that happened to me at 30mph.
Please suggest me how could I fix this problem. Am I unlucky having this car?
From the info you have given sounds like a fuel system problem generally , in general terms the fuel trim figures are way out. if the fuel trims are plus or minus more than ten percent then the fuel air mixture is out .what could it be ? well the most common fault is a faulty air mass sensor.other causes are vacuum leaks or a sudden drop in fuel pressure.diagnosing the causes is a job for an experienced tech with some test equipment unfortunately the code reader doesnt give all the answers.as far as it goes hope this has been of some help to you
I would get it checked out, but the way you describe it, it sounds like a fuel pump problem. Or something may be clogged.

there is a problem in your gear shifter located insde your transmission. have a transmission expert check your transmission, since this is not a DIY job.

This is an engine/ carburation problem, it cant be anything else. The ECU may have a fault or a crank sensor is playing up or the fuel pump or an air flow meter or throttle switches. Take it to someone with engine diagnostic equipment not transmission or brakes.

I don't know much about cars and this is my first car.
Do you have any idea how much it may cost me to resolve this fuel pump problem?

In the evening, when I went for 25miles drive. Suddenly, enginelight popped up. So, I checked error codes again. I erased codes andchecked again and the output is as follows:

What is INC???
After erasing codes, I didn't see any codes. I tried 3 to 4 times but I didn't get any error. Also, engine light is turned off.
Do you think that there is no problem with my car, now?
Thanks a lot Sparrow117 and SpottyDick. I will check codes after 1 month and if they reappear then based on codes I will take your suggestions.
Thanks a lot for your help.
