Any misfire or hesitation? If not, i had a similar issue due to the throttle cable. Check out this post https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116...08/?styleid=41

Dead on answer - thanks. Rubber spacer was split. Put a tube around the cable and zip tied it. 100% improvement.

Codes

How do you read the codes on this thing? Check engine light is on but the standard ODB reader doesn't fit connector. Without going to a Toyota dealer how do I read the codes?

Awesome, I knew I couldn't be the only one with this issue. As far as the Odb port, do you have a ODBII scanner? If so it wont work. That wasnt standard till '96. You will have to use the diagnostic port

Its under the hood behind the battery. I'm doing this from memory, but you turn the car off, jump E1 and T E1 with a paper clip and turn the key . Count the flashes to get the code number. Do a search to find what the codes mean. I think its also in the user manual that came with the truck if you have it.
