2007 Toyota Avalon still runs C1246,P0793,B2799,P0900,C1223,C1201.

Who is "they" - who hooked up the diagnostic thingy. If "they" is an auto parts house, all they can give you is the codes. You have to have the codes interpreted and see if they are related. Don't just start throwing parts into the vehicle. The transmission shop was probably right - it's an electrical issue. You need to take your vehicle to a dealership or a qualified, experienced independent shop and invest in some diagnostics.

Transmission wont always shift into 3rd and sometimes down shifts out of no were driving down the road and other times u can drive for few with no problems at all

First thing to do would be check fluid level an condition, is the fluid dark or brown in color an smell burnt. If fluid is good have the control module checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes ,then check the wiring harness an connections at the transmission an at the control module that controls the transmission, the transmission is electronically controlled .Do you have a lot of miles on the vehicle ?

When put in drive step on gas pedel car move slow no top speed

Hello


The Engine and Automatic Transmission (not applicable to manual transmissions) in this vehicles drive train are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM and TCM (Power Train Control Module, Transmission Control Module). When a problem like this or other drive-ability related problems occurs the computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. Also always check fuel pressure for correct spec for your make and engine type.
