Engine Performance problem
2000 Toyota Echo Automatic 146000 miles

When I stop at a stop sign, red light, etc, and I go to pull out, the car doesn't move. Eventually after trying a few times it will move. I don't feel it jerk or anything, it just starts moving. This doesn't happen every time, but most of the time. It is fine any other time, just after stopping.

No, the engine seems enable to burn the gas on a start, then I smoothly press on gas and the car start moving.

I forgot to tell that fist: I've changed tha air filter and cleaned the MAF sensor but didn't solved the problem, second I cleaned the IAC valve and the trottle body until they seems like new but again, didn't solved the problem. I thought about the EGR valve but their is no EGR valve installed on this car.

Now I'm wating for your help.
