Troubleshooting Request! [SOLVED] Options

[rave2n]

Hello all. On my way home from work this evening, the cellie died.

I was just taking off after a light, and it started to feel like it was stalling in 1st when the gas about half down. It seems to have recovered and was going alright. Drove normal...til the next light. Did it agian, but worse.

After stalling completely while going 35, pulled over. Had trouble starting up, but would start. Idle was crazy, but tapping the gas you could get it up to 4k rpm easy. That didn't last long either. It started to drop asoon as I hit the gas after that. Now it'll have a really rough start up, then run like crap for about 10 seconds, then just dies.

I checked for any obvious leaks or anything of the sort..nothing. My limited knowledge of engines is a hinderence atm. I do know, you need air, fuel, spark. I have air, I have spark. So, my question is...do you guys think my fuel filter, pump, or injector is bad?

The spark plugs are less then a year old, the only recent thing i've done is got a oil change, and put in LED BA-15 bulbs in my rear lights =P

Any assistance would be greatly appreicated, as right now its sitting in a parking lot of a not so wonderful area. Hoping its something I can fix quickly and available at a local shop..

Okay, so that video, that's the throttle doing that on its own, not you hitting the gas pedal, right?

I believe the TPS off the corolla 7afe will work, by the way. Have you tried adjusting your TPS yet? Or have you left it alone? If you've left it alone, don't try to adjust it. Also, have you cleaned your IAC valve out?

When it revs all the way up, thats me hitting the pedal, trying to recreate the horrible hesitation it get sometimes when I floor it. The drops are what I was trying to show. The video is horrible quality i know, but its the drops in RPM when idle that are killing me. Its weird how the problem has evolved. One day I couldn't drive it cause it stall asoon as you hit the gas, now its drivable with just drops in idle and heavy heavy throttle ocasionally.

Havn't touched the TPS yet...I was thinking of swapping it out tomorrow from a rolla.

IAC valve..I think I missed that one, that the one right next to the PCV valve, or am I way off. Need to get my books to reference =P

Edit: Yea just looked up that valve...I havn't even seen that before...I must check that out...now.
