What is your question?
Our 2003 toyota camry gave us trouble with a trac off vsc or vcs light coming on. The issues were when we first start car for the day and not having enough power to acclerate and it feeling a big jolt then when slowing down to a stop and turning a puttering clicking type of sound happens. But after we stop turn it off and restart it it drives fairly fine except when trying to go up hill the speed starts to drop down staying stuck at 40-50mph. We got it read and found that hoses by air filter were off and keep poping off. So it was suggested to change o2 sensor b1 s1. Also the 3& 5 spark plugs misfiring. We replaced them and air filter via diy. We believe we replaced the o2 sensor correctly. Well after all that we start the car and nothing has changed and now we feel a slight shaking in the car. We are on a tight budget so diy is our best option.
How long has your 2003 Toyota Camry had this problem?

If you have a slight shaking you probably have a misfire. This could be ignition coil related or possible fuel related. This could also be an issue with the throttle position sensor. You could start with a scanner that can read live data and narrow down while cylinder is missing. If you can determine that try swapping coils to see if the misfire follows. Also you can rent a fuel pressure tester at most parts stores for free. Now this is just some guidance and I know you are on a budget but if you don't normally work on cars, and you need this car back up and running quickly and properly it may be cheaper to get it diagnosed at a shop. If you want to go that route then use this link to find a good shop near you. https://repairpal.com/repair-shops Alex
I forgot to add the codes p0300 p03001 p0305 p0420 p0171 p2238 came up when we got it read. Thats when we were told we should do the spark plugs then air filter nezt o2 sensor.
