Ok, in feb I had the carbon canister changed, engine light back on after 2 weeks, 2 months ago changed 02 sensor after that the car running TERRIBLE light back on, po133, po177 and honestly dont remember all the codes I know before there were also po420, po422 and po426? Ok, so 2 weeks ago changed new mass air flow sensor and still the light comes on, the car hesitates terribly and after sitting all day while working when I try to take off the car just sits or goes MAYBE 3 miles an hour then all a sudden takes off? I smell like gas everyday i'm getting headaches and sick from it. Noone seems to know whats wrong? Someone told me to losen the gas cap that helps a little with accelerating but I can tell it still wants to no go. Also when I stomp the gas it sounds kinda like a vaccum leak but tonight sounded like spraying? PLEASE help me. What do I do? I paid toyota 90.00 to give me a code i'm lost dont know what to do now

Take it back to Toyota or trusted garage and get it diagnosed and repaired.

I only say this because throwing parts at it has been unsuccessful and with the gas smell you take the chance that the convertor will overheat and clog (which may be your problem), they are NOT CHEAP to replace, some cost over $1100.
