    Ive got a 2000 tacoma, seemingly randomly i will have issues accelerating where i cannot go over twenty miles per hour, truck seems bogged down, feels like a vacuum leak potentially. Doing some searching and found this, this is the exhaust viewed from passenger wheel well just above the downstream O2 sensor. I tried sliding a credit card it and it couldnt go all the way through. Should this gap be here? Wondering if someone could compare mine to theirs.IMG_6300.jpg
