First off, I have a 96 4Runner Limited with the 3.4 4x4. The replacement engine has @ 66K on it, body has 225K. About a month or so ago I had to drive it from NC to KY and back, no problems at all with any stuttering, ran strong and fast, well maybe not fast but fast enough! Yesterday I hit the gas hard to pass and it acts like it's hitting a rev limiter, this only happens under hard acceleration. As long as I don't mat it to the floor it's good but when I do it stumbles like a stutter box at the drags. I let off and give it gas easier and it runs great.

Does anybody have an idea of what's the culprit? I've been told fuel pump and filter possibly, clogged converter, MAF could be bad. There is NO CEL though so I'm lost.

Thanks
Jason
