    Aloha Everyone if you are having hesistation issues with your 1st gen Tacoma when pressing the accelerator there is a good chance your throttle position sensor has gone bad. There were some temporary solutions that worked for me for awhile (pressing the pedal 100xs or so to clean the contacts) but the issue always came back. Couldn't find the OEM replacement part till now. Bought the part and replaced and now it seems to have resolved all issues. Just wanted to post a link to the part if anyone else is having this issue.
