Some Toyota Solara owners report experiencing limp mode issues characterized by no acceleration and RPMs limited to 1000 after changing spark plugs and the gas pedal. These problems may stem from a malfunctioning accelerator pedal position sensor or related wiring, which could disrupt proper vehicle operation. Additionally, a faulty throttle body motor may also contribute to the lack of acceleration. Owners have noted that the symptoms align with the vehicle entering Limp-Home mode, potentially triggered by a poor interaction between the accelerator pedal and throttle body. Furthermore, issues with a damaged or detached transmission cable harness can lead to similar limp mode symptoms. To effectively address these concerns, it is advisable for owners to check the functionality of the accelerator pedal position sensor, inspect the throttle body motor for faults, diagnose any reasons for entering Limp-Home mode, and examine the transmission cable harness for proper connection.
