    Yup it’s a 4-pin. I found a 35030 Aisin TPS on partsgeek.com .
    Replaced TPS over the weekend, along with cleaning the throttle body, & there is still no change in my truck. :facepalm: It’s still starting right up and idling fine, sounds cherry so smooth, and then after it leaves my driveway the complete loss of power when accelerating & the surging starts acting up again .
    I tried to get an appt at the only Toyota dealership on island today. The service manager tried to tell me that since my truck is “older”, that it may not be worth it to bring it in
