Light sputtering in 91 4 runner

Just the other day my 91 runner started to sputter a little bit when I hit 40-50 mph. It then also started to do it at 20-35. It then stoped for a few days after I put fuel cleaner in cause it started right after I had gotten gas. It is now doing it again. Any advice? Thanks

i have a similar problem too like when i started it up the motor shakes and it sputters out of the exhaust but the motor shakes too so. i changed the coolant temp and fuel filter and spark plugs still the same symptoms motor shakes etc so i been reading bout simliar problems thinking bout changing the tps and o2 sensor but i was curious on what u guys might think it is and when cold or hot below 3000 rpms it sputters but not so much any above 3000 rpms
