Unhappy need help for ideas!!

hey i live in Duvall area and my 86 4runner i got as a fixer-upper and well we got it running but it's still spuddering/loosing power whene you try to give it moderate amount of throttle. we've cleaned the injectors and changed the gas and the oil and filters. we are planning on checking the throttle positioning sensor today. i don't know exactly how to do that but yeah. if you have any ideas on things to try or why it's happening. it's been sitting for over 2 years before this.
echeing to get wheeling! if you can help then please and thank you.

Did you try a tuneup? cap, rotor, wires & plugs.
