    Ive done some snooping around but couldn't find anything on my issue. Its a '99 Tacoma 3.4L. It runs great and i can get the truck up to speed but there is just nothing there. Pedal to to floor i get some acceleration. Not nearly what should be there though. Clutch was replaced around 50k ago and has no slippage. This started happened after hitting a cow on the driver side and maybe from replacing the clutch master cylinder during the rebuild process? Just replaced the plugs an hour ago hoping i was just getting a misfire. Didnt fix the issue.

    Any places to start or advice would be much appreciated!

    If it's throwing any engine codes. And I would assume the ex meaning exhaust issue?

    I will start with the fuel filter as its probably the cheapest fix and go from there. Thanks for the help gentleman!

    I'm thinking it might be the MAF or TPS sensor after some research. Since I'm not throwing the check engine light would I get any codes back saying that it is in fact a sensor?

    Possibly, but for sure it would create a big loss of power. I don't have a timing belt on mine, so no actual experience here, just throwing out an idea. I think that belts are more likely to slip than a chain.

    Started with the easiest and most cost effective way to go about the first and it worked! A little bit more digging around the forums i found a thread on clean the MAF sensor. IT WORKED! Power is back in full force. Thanks for all the help guys.
