    Hi, I have a 2001 prerunner 3.4l and when I get into higher rpm's my truck starts to slow down instead of going faster and it feels like the motor has no power, I have already changed the TPS, cleaned out the throttle body, new coil packs, new MAF, new bank1 sensor 1 and that didn't do anything.

    Clogged cat maybe? If all else fails, I'd test back pressure.

    It's a brand new MAF sensor, how do you check for a clogged cat, also how do you check the fuel trims

    I think a cat malfunction will cause a CEL under some conditions. As far as fuel trims, I think you need a scanguage for that. Not sure that's something you'll wanna do. Plugs into the OBDII port if I'm not mistaken.
