Update;
After 7 shops and months of diognosis and parts, I found it when no one else could, (Toyota, private shops and even Toyota specialty shops)
OCV- oil control valve or “solenoid”

Could you list the part number(s) replaced? Thanks.

Wow...good work! Hope this info helps others having similar issues.

Ive experienced it at times...always happened during hunting season when I'm wearing larger boots. Always thought it was my boot hitting the brake pedal at same time giving throttle.

@Jordan-River my issue turned out to be the oil control valve, one was opening all the way and the other was blocked by about 1-2mm. What I ended up doing was pulling out both, hooking up power from a drill battery in order to check for full range of motion in the ocv. And that’s what showed me my issue. Are you working on a 2 or 2.5gen? Do you want a pic of the ocv valve location? I did all the work myself. The ocv I bought from Toyota. Not a single shop was able to find the issue. I’d highly recommend checking your ocv.

2014 6cyl PreRunner 2nd gen. Yes if you could post any pics of where they're located and what they look like is very helpful. I called my stealership and they want like $220 a piece, so you got a really good deal on the 2 for $125 OCV.
