    You may be having an intermittent problem with the crankshaft position sensor on your 1997 Toyota Avalon. The crankshaft position sensor sends an engine RPM signal to the engine control computer which is then used to fire the injectors and the ignition coils. The "random" codes may or may not be indicating other possible faults. If would not be a bad idea to have your car properly diagnosed by a qualified technician - I could save you money in the long run.
