poor acceleration after mudding

hey everyone, i've got an 01 tacoma, 4x4 with the 2.7 liter. My trucks a 5speed, and after going mudding last week my truck seems like it's not accelerating as quickly as it used to. it seems to be happening in second gear, espically when i'm in the higher RPM's. i should also say that unless i'm accelerating hard the truck seems to go just fine. any ideas?



just incase anybody's interested heres a video of the mudding...

my only guess is to check your air filter for debris or damage

 

Sounds like a dirty air filter, judging by the video haha

 

the airfilter was actually ripped and full of mud haha..but that was replaced and earlier tonight i cleaned my whole intake and also my throttle body...the truck seems to rev fine...i guess i just may not be used to driving a 4cyl yet...

 

mine feels the same way after i take it out of 4wd for some reason

 

Seafoam it from the intake manifold

 

Yeah I did that too...right after I went I was experiancing some hesitation in the motor, but I've got that cleared up now...it almost feels like tranny lag, if that's possible? The motor revs fine all the way up to redline like it ues too.

 

You can wash the mud off the pickup, which removes a lot of excess weight, so your acceleration comes back :]

 

Haha I wish it were that easy.
