Check inside throttle body...the throttle plate could be dirty (especially around the edges). Carefully clean with a "sensor safe" throttle body cleaner. Don't let dirty fluid run down into the air passage to the IAC. (It's the small hole just before the butterfly). May want to plug that with a cloth before you start cleaning.

Yes, if the timing chain or gears are worn, acceleration can cause the chain to jump.
They are being recalled and fixed!!!! Contact the dealer (Toyota?) and see if your model is affected .
