Bad Throttle Lag

pumping the throttle 100 times is with engine off

put it in neutral, forward, reverse, first, second or any other gear

pump the throttle from no throttle to full throttle 100 times

This only works on a higher mileage truck. This fixes a truck with a flat spot on the potentiometer. Flat spot develops from setting at one throttle position for a lot ( 90,000 on my truck ) of miles.

On a new truck this is not your problem

 

My problem ended up being 2 codes by the time I fixed it. It would barely even go 60 without sputtering and bogging down. Rear O2 and new MAF sensor took care of it. Even got a magnaflow muffler in while changing the O2 sensor. Truck is running awesome and sounds great now. The best part is it will be paid off in 2 months!!!

 

Hey all,
I was having the same hesitation problem in my 03 V6 Tacoma...at 1500-2000RPM... I scoured the forums and decided to try pumping the accelerator 100 times..
it totally worked!
THANKS EVERYONE!!!!
way to save me a bunch of cash and make my truck happy again!

 

Glad to hear it worked for you. I had 90,000 on my truck when i had this problem. I now have 120,000 and the problem has not come back
