1997 4runner 5 speed, Surge/Stutter

Hello,

My 1997 5speed 4 runner just started to do this odd surge. I notice it most in 4th gear at about 35-40. I will shift through the gears get up to speed let off gas. When I gently accelerate it surges/stutters like it loses power or slips. I have experienced this surge in all gears but seems that I feel it most in 4th and 5th after reaching speed and then slightly pressing on gas. It is a double pulse/surge then it is gone.

Any ideas? Is this driveline or engine?


Thanks for any help

check and see if it does the surge at around the same RPMs... also, 3.4 I'm guessing... I had a 3.0 that had the fuel dampener give out and it would surge and drop all power at around 2400 RPM and up.

thanks, was a bad TPS sensor

TPS sensor came up on engine code after doing this for a few days. Replaced and now all is good
