Is it a manual transmission if so something is slipping the clutch maybe. automatic might need a new tranny filter

I think yoy have an internal transmission issue that will require and overhaul to correct.

how to change a gear shift light bulb for toyota corolla 2006 ?

Is it automatic? Maybe the car is starting off in 2nd gear? Try shifting it manually, starting in Low, and then progressively shifting to 2nd, and then to Drive. If it now accelerates normally, there could be a shift solenoid problem in the transmission. Verify that your transmission fluid level is correct. If it is, and the problem persists, have it professionally diagnosed. Not much that a DIYer can do with an automatic, unfortunately.

There is a known issue with the 2005-2007 Corolla automatic transmission shift logic. There is a technical service bulletin published (TC015-07) that will address and rectify this condition.
The diagnostic code P2716 will be stored in the computer memory. The procedure involves replacing the Engine Control Module (the computer) with an updated unit. The repair is covered, under the factory warranty, for 96 months, or 80,000 miles, which ever comes first. I hope that this helps you out.

Check the idle speed.

hi,
when the check engine light comes on, your car goes into a mode where instead of everything being normal, things are forced, to try and compensate for something else being wrong. It most likely does need a new timing belt, and a complete tuneup INCLUDING plugs and wires. we have a 1984 toyota corolla and it purrs like ground rice, I suggest the tuneup to continue proper rice production.

Hi. 2005 Corolla CE. It's normal. They tend to do this when upshifting form 1st to 2nd gear. No timing chain readjustment needed.

96 Corolla. Overdrive not working properly, if not engaging after 45mph constantly. If driving on the city, is normal, but not after 45mph, when the car is trying to engage overdrive in order to save gas and preserve the trans gears. If not able to get help at the dealership, find another one and explain them the situation.
