SOURCE: car starts but the engine does not reve when I

either broken accelerator cable or broken throttle position sensor, open the bonnet and see if the gas pedal actually turns the throttle, if the throttle is turning then the fault is in the TPS - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/TOYOTA-AVENSIS-CAMRY-RAV-4-THROTTLE-POSITION-SENSOR-GEN_W0QQitemZ260532390938QQcmdZViewItem?rvr_id=&rvr_id=&cguid=504ea2ab1260a0aad422e2a2ffc2aa49#ht_879wt_940
That should fix it, simple to fit. one out one in + reattach the connector.

Car stalls whether its hot or cold when the throttle is flicked down or you rev up and leave it to drop revs then it stalls.

Is the engine idle just set a bit low anyway? Can you access the idle adjustment and turn it up a tad? The sluggish drive may be in need of an engine service but a 1.3 is small for this car. Check out online car owner forums to see if others think so to.

Eengine wont start has gas and spark?

Does it sound like its spinning or turning faster than normal? If so could just be flooded. Try cranking engine with excellerator 3/4 way down at 10 sec intervals with 2 min brake in between. These cars have always seemed to flood easy. And the air intake system is so enclosed it cant really dry out easy. I try that 3-4 times if it does seem like its trying to start or getting better than Id say tow to mechanic. Possible coil problems too? But seen alot of them flood out.
