Engine misses below 3000 rpms

Whats up guy newbie here so take it easy on me. I am working on a 91 4 runner with the 3.0 engine and it misses until it gets up to about 3000 rpms. I did the plugs, wires, cap, and rotor. I have double and triple checked all that and gone over every inch of vacuum line that I can see and can't seem to find the problem. This is my first Toyota and I am a lot more accustomed to working on older carbureted stuff. I hope you guys can guide me a little here as it is getting to be a pain in the rear. It seems to run ok going down the highway but it doesnt want to lug at all and doesn't get the mileage that I thought it would. (Not sure what it should get though) It has a 5 speed transmission that I have some questions on but I will get to that in another thread. Any and all help is appreciated.

using an ohmmeter or multimeter, you check the resistance between the center connector and the + terminal, between the + and - terminals and between the terminals and case.

I don't have the specs in front of me so I can't say exactly what they are but they should be in the FSM manual linked from https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116...umbers-102344/
