ive got a 94 4runner 3.0 and i was on the road about to pass a car so i gave it a lil more gas and then the motor cut out on me and the rpms dropped to 1000 or less but anyways it has to do with my fuel system somewhere i replaced the filter and checked the pump and everything is good so if anyone can help me plz do so i dont have to tear the lines out and the motor apart....

 

Is it running normal since it did this?

 

im running into the same problem. have a mechanic run diagnostics it might be your tps sensor. im thinking thats what my problem is. does it cut out around 2500rpm? then again at 3500?.

 

i dont think its that it wont start al all unless i use starter fluid..but yea it did the same it just cut out on me aroundt 2000 3000 rpm...well i diddent wana wait but my uncil is a mechanic for the fire department so ima have him help me out..but if i do find out ill let u know bc im shure the same is goin to happen to u soon..

 

So you might be a better response if you posted this in the 86-95 Trucks and 4Runner folder: https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116/ since you have got a 94.
This folder is for the 84-85 trucks and 4Runner

 

i had thought i posted it in there but i guess not lol..thanx though..

 

thats cool, just trying to help point you in the right direction to get your problem fixed...Good Luck!

 

The 3.0 V6 engines were prone to faulty headgaskets. The dealership used to replace them for free, but I doubt the warranty exists anymore. I would investigate further, but I've got my money on headgaskets.

Which would also be coincidental... my hg just went out on the old 22R Time to go motor diving.
