    Hi everyone!

    2001 Tacoma SRunner, 5VZ-FE, 5 speed manual, 2WD.

    It has mild hesitation around 2,000 rpm for awhile, goes away at higher rpms. Occasionally, it will hold idle at about 1,800-1,900 rpm with the clutch in or transmission in neutral while coasting. But once the speed drops below about 5 mph, it idles normally.

    Today, it had a major loss of power on the freeway at about 2,000 rpm again. Downshifted and the power was back. Seemed to be fine until I exited the freeway and shifted into neutral at which point the engine died. Started a bit hard, but ran again. Put in the clutch to downshift when traffic slowed and it died again. Again, seemed to start hard.

    Prior to today, have replaced fuel filter, air filter, spark plugs and wires. Did not affect hesitation or idle issues.

    From searching seems similar to the fuel pump relay/resistor issue, but it doesn't seem to have the fuel pump resistor that is pictured (the finned piece with the connectors). There is a two wire connector with a black plastic piece just under the fuse box on the driver's fender, but it is not what is pictured. Does a 2001 have the fuel pump resistor?

    Suggestions?
