Hi Ashley, welcome to TOC 

I am not sure what "leggy when driving " means but no one can diagnose from the little information that you have given so more information would be useful e.g. which 2.2 (there are 150 & 177bhp versions), manual or auto transmission, how many miles on it, when last serviced etc etc..

The usual culprits tend to be the EGR and/or manifold filling up with carbon or the SCV but those would be just stabs in the dark without more info & ideally the car being code read.

Thank you for the reply 

My car is Toyota Avensis d4d 2.2 manual not sure about 150 or 177bhp. 

It has 210585km on the clock 

Yesterday i changed the crank sensor it's been driving okay so far maybe it's to early to the car is now

Check your EGR valve....I have included some pictures of mine when I cleaned it yesterday and already throttle response is a little better...

Mine is a 2.2 d4d 2009’ 150bhp

Bugger.

That has got to be one of the dirtiest EGR's I have ever seen 

Seriously, I am surprised it would run after it warmed up and tried to operate. 

I remember the aggro with the Avensis last year due to the EGR and it was only a fraction of the carbon you had.

Gotta say my egr was that bad on my t180 when I cleaned it a few weeks ago
