Lacking power going up hill

I've got recently just bought a 91 runner v6 3.0 and noticed that I was lacking power and found I had a hole in my air intake tube. I replaced it and seems to run fine. Now when go up any kind of hill I have no power what so ever and when I push gas to the ground it don't do nothing. I've changed the plugs, air filter, oil. Any ideas?

sounds like its running perfectly fine to be honest. What do you expect? The 3vze makes 145hp or so and your truck weighs around 4000lbs without you in it.
