when i drive it i have to hold the gas pedal all the way down and it takes a while to get up to speed especially on the high way then sometimes when i let off a little bit the rpms drop and so does the speed...also sometimes the rps will go all the way up to 5 till it kicks in to the next gear...the car did sit for 2 yrs before i bought it and the toyota mechanic said it may need to be driven for a while but i have been for 2 months or so...

Now is the tranny giving you trouble?
Does it sputter when you put your foot down? Bad gas (you've filled it up,
right?)
But my guess, as a quick fix, is the Fuel Filter.
