Hey guys need some help Diagnosing my 3.4L 01 auto. 109k

Symptons:
~Backfire under hard acceleration only.. about 3.5k and Up. Rarely do I.
~Loss of power in 3rd under acceleration(uphill).. i/e accelerating, then it just sits at 3k rpm no matter how much throttle. If i let off then back on, it feels like its accelerating then the rpm just falls back to 3k. (only uphill though)
~Spark plug no #6 error code but since has cleared.
~Small kind fuel smell, could be from fueling up and some on my hands.

Recent work:
Spark plugs and wires replaced July last year.
Recently replaced Throttle Position Sensor.
Fully Synthetic Pennzoil Platinum in Feb.

Timing Belt/Water pump, Fuel pump planned for the beginning of the year.

I Could check the o2 sensors and the Maf sensor but am not to sure what to look for voltage wise or even how to check. My pops is a electrical engineer so thats handy.
Anyone have or have had a 1st gen with similar problems. I just want to be educated before I take my truck in so im not sold some bullshit.

 

Try cleaning the MAF

 

I do Have a K&N cold air intake thats from '09. Always cleaned and recharged though, but maybe its time for a new one. Some Parts are frayed, but nothing on the internal part of the cone. Thanks Ill check it tomorrow morning. Any suggestions on how to clean it? Regards to the MAF, Ive got a can of compressed air around the house somewhere.

 

There is a MAF cleaner, pretty sure it's some type of spray can. Just follow directions on the can.

Try also checking the rubber boot thingy that connects the intake tube to the throttle body. Mine was all cracked and pulling in extra air, truck ran like shit.

 

where you guys wheeling at?

 

Couple different spots in Kaupo

 

What time u guys meeting up? Thinking about goin

 

They meeting at pukalani foodland at 10am on Friday

 

Saw your truck out at the bay yesterday so I guess you got em fixed?

?????? - Might not come due to cruise being on a Friday.

Keep Letting us know. Keep telling everybody.

 

Nope. Just easing it around lol. Only happens under heavy acceleration. Im really thinking its the timing belt which needs to be changed soon. I got a quote from Tire warehouse in Lahaina that will do Waterpump/Timing belt, parts and labor for $900. That about right price wise?

 

I always try to price the parts out online and figure $75-95 per hour in labor to check.

 

Just joined TW.
Any idea if theres gonna be another meet and wheel before next year? I wanna go to the next one. Try find some new trails. All i know is the ones in kahakuloa and polipoli and some cane fields over haiku.

 

i can go pretty much any weekend cuz

 

I am off every weekend as well. Lets go play.

 

I'm free after 11:00 this Saturday.
We can go to the same place that we went for the meet.

Any interest? It would be nice if we could get a pallet together for better shipping costs.

 

Pelfreybilt can bring in anything that 4wheel parts sales.
