Its my neighbor and she is Asian and we are having trouble communicating but that's what she said. 2010 /toy corolla. I can start it without pressing accelerator and it will idle, but as soon as you press accelerator it stalls. There is also white smoke coming out exhaust... Car seems too new to have these problems unless she accidentally put diesel in... can you do that?

Its possible. The first thing that needs to be done is to do a fuel sample. Also you may be able to smell it if you remove the gas cap.

Sounds like either diesel or possibly contaminated fuel.
