3vze torque problem
I have a 91 toyota pickup 3vze v6 and i have no power until about 3000 rpms. When I'm in 1st or 2nd gear it's a slow acceleration until 3000 rpms and then my torque jumps up a lot. Once I get into 3rd or above I have absolutely no power. Any tips or fixes?

That's pretty much how the 3vze runs. Below 3000 is for level cruising or coasting only. When you want to accelerate or go up a hill you have to get the rpm's up. I seldom upshift below 4000 rpm until I've reached my final speed.

A timing light is $20 http://www.harborfreight.com/xenon-t...ight-3343.html It's one of the first tools you (should) buy. And your symptoms sound like a timing problem.
(Read the manual for how to check; you need a jumper to set it to base timing)

Are you gears shifting normally or are they slipping?
Does your gas peddle operate fine or does it stop at a certain point where you do not have alot of speed? If this case, it might be your detint cable that runs to the throttle body to the transmission.
