Twice in the last month while driving along my Corolla has decided that it doesn't want to rev. It will idle, but the engine won't rev. The first time I was leaving a stop light I had just gotten the car rolling and it wouldn't accelerate. I tried letting off the accelerator and depressing it more easily but still no acceleration. I then put the car in neutral as it coasted at two miles an hour and held down the throttle but even with no load the engine won't rev. About a minute later when I got to a parking lot and turned in to bet of the road the engine started to respond and rev, and I was able to drive home. A couple weeks later a similar problem, I was trying to accelerate from 25 to 30 miles per hour and the car just kept moving at the same speed. I throw the car in neutral and tried to rev the engine but it wouldn't, then about 30 seconds later the engine started to rev again and I was able to keep moving along. The engine did not stall either time. Is there any problem common to the corolla that could cause this?
