Great cold, loss of power mid range, great wide open throttle
1992 Toyota pickup 22re
The truck starts and is real strong when cold. Once the temperature comes up (after ~2 mins of driving) it runs great until I put my foot down to about 1/3 throttle, then the more I press the throttle, the less power I have until my foot goes right to the floor, then I have full power again. It makes makes more noise and sounds like the engine is working harder as I give it more gas, but I have less power the more throttle I give it. The only things I can think of are either the TPS or the VAF meter. I tested the TPS and it is good, and I will test the VAF meter and post the results when I do.

So I tested the VAF meter according to these specs: http://bit.ly/1nntiTN The only abnormality was E2 - Vs when it was closed. There was about 700 ohms of resistance between those two terminals instead of the 20 - 400 ohms that it should have been. Does it make sense that this would account for the issue?

What Transmission Auto or Manual??
It sounds like your transmission or clutch might be slipping.
Does your truck have a tach and what is it showing while doing this compared to the speedometer??
