Thank you. The check engine light isn't on and has never came on with this issue. I had the code read just incase there was something there and it just kept flashing continuously. Not sure what that means.

I bought a 1993 ES 300 a year ago. The car ran perfectly for about 6 months now it doesn't run so great. When the problem first started I would loose power only on the first left turn I would take. It would act like my gas pedal wasn't hooked up, and once in a while it would just die. But after I got around the corner or restarted it, it would be fine. Then it started to not have any power on the first take off and some slow shifting onto first and second gear. But after it shifted it would be fine. The rest of the day. Now it has several issues. 1. There is very little power at take off (won't go over 10 mph if your lucky enough to get it there) 2. It backfires within the first 30 seconds of driving it (sounds like it's coming from under the passenger seat) but it only backfires once when u first start driving it. 3. It doesn't want to shift, it takes forever. When it does shift it is very hard. 4. On the freeway it is very slow to get up to speed and once you hit 60 it down shifts and won't go any faster. However if you can get it to go to 80 it's fine at 80 just not at 60-75 MPH. 5. At every stop the shifting problem starts over until you have been driving for 20-30 min. We have had the tranny looked at and told it was practically brand new. My husband replaced the tranny sensors and some other relay sensors. But it hasn't fixed the problem. If you disconnect the battery long enough to clear the computer it will run perfectly for a day or two, then it will start all over. Any ideas what this problem is? Thanks!
