so my car had been sitting for 11 months wrecked, and i've been driving it for about a month fixed now. it seems a little more sluggish than it used to, not to mention i think my gas mileage is crap compared to what it used to be. my light comes on about 290 something. just from it sitting there for so long, do you think anything should be replaced?

I dont know if ST`s have this or not, but it might be in LIMP mode. Disconnect the battery for 10 mins and see if that sorts out the problem...this will reset the ECU to its base settings and clear any error codes that you might have. Also run some injector cleaner and see how it goes from there.
edit - added this bit - If that dosnt help much, then check your timing and ignition circuits, spark plugs etc. If that still dosnt help check your fuel filter, make sure it isnt fouled up with muck and stuff, replacing a fuel filter is pretty easy and not very expensive, even from the Toyota Dealers.
