Losing power

What's up y'all! I have a 95 4runner 3.0 manual 4x4 and recently I been noticing when I'm doing my normal driving up hills on the road, I been losing power and been having to keep down shifting and still losing powers. My buddy said it could've been spark plugs so I changed them out. They were pretty bad and it did help a bit, but its happening a bit. I think it could be the fuel pump might be going out or the injectors might be dirty. Any advice?

There are a few things you can try. One is fuel addatives. Another is taking your throttle body off and give it a good cleaning with carb cleaner and a tooth brush. Worked for me... P.s. The stp injector cleaner will mess your spark plugs up if you use it in mass quantities

Thanks for the help! Throttle bottle cleaned and seems like she's breathing much better and I'm being able to even ride the gears a bit longer too.
