::UPDATE :: UPDATE:: SOLVED:: UPDATE:: SOLVED:: UPDATE:: SOLVED:

**((all this following information is for future reference to those who will have the same problem as me & same DTC trouble codes & will stumble upon this thread)))**

**NOTE:**
my Prius had some minor damage to the front nose.
Car ran & started fine.
After sitting in the garage for 2 months, when I went to start the car...it would start..then stall after 6-10 secs of running.

**CODES:**
1.) P2111 - Throttle Actuator Control System - Stuck Open
((Solution)) Replaced the Throttle Body Motor Assembly (pic 1)
*note* this code will ALSO be showing up IF the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)(pic 2) has been tempered with, and if you put it in a teeny-bit "off from normal" position (I'm talking millimeters) from what Toyota intended it be...the computer will throw the P2111 code!!

2.) P0010 - "Camshaft Position 'A' Actuator Circuit (Bank 1)
((Solution)) This code was throwing because the Camshaft Timing Oil Control Valve (OCV) Sensor (pic 3) was snapped off (broken). So I replace it. Code was cleared.

3.) P0122 - Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor A Circuit Low Input
P0222 - Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch B Circuit Low Input
P2135 - Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch A/B Voltage Correlation
((Solution)) All of these 3 codes were showing only because of 1 sensor...the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) (pic 2). For some reason my partner accidentally installed a "damaged" TPS sensor instead of the good one and that's why those codes were throwing.
*Replaced it with a good TPS Sensor & all codes were cleared*!

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!! :cheer2: :cheer2:

Well done!.

I Still with the problem
I have questions: How did you solve exactly: 1.) P2111 - Throttle Actuator Control System - Stuck Open how was adjusted the sensor? did you send it to the extreme? because i also removed it to check, but I did'nt have that problem.
Did you change your sensor? Does the sensor comes with the Throttle Body?

Thanks for your help, But I still with the problem, I'm ordering the throttle body but it will arrive the next weekend so any suggestions will be apreciated

Thanks a lot
