Plug wires??
Fuel filter??
Timing??
trouble codes??
Loose electrical connection???
Vacuum/Egr???
AFM(x2)??
TPS(x2)??

If multiple codes, try to resetting ECU then drive to see what is thrown.

If it's running that ty it probably has a stored code.

Easy way to check TPS: UNPLUG IT!

and after hours on the phone with him....

there might be a problem with the spring in the AFM...
he remembers there was a problem before and it did the same thing....

oh, and there's a temp switch on the thermostat housing which has a connector that has corroded and the wire is connected just as well.

and...

and...

c'mon allan... norbert... albert? lol

damn man, that sucks, last time i saw her she was 99.9% metal and 00.1% wood block, but still runnin hella strong. id have to agree with abe, other than that it sounds like its flooding at low rpms, which then comes back to the afm, or the AFM boot. dont get it from toyota, go to a wrecking yard bro! im gonna hit one up next weekend and get me some lincoln towncar seats, (COMFY AS HELL), a right side fender, if they have one in good condition, and a e-brake assembly.

i had a similar problem before on my honda and it turned out to be faulty plug wires. easy way to check it is to check the resistance between the points with an ohm meter

ozziesironmanoffroad

im sure he has replaced the plug wires... thats the absolute first thing you check. the wires, plugs, and dist.
