Okay so we checked the O2 sensors and they're both right at 13 ohms, the TPS is operating perfectly and the MAF is functioning and well within the levels given in the FSM.
Anyone else have any ideas as to where to check now?
Does not go back to normal until the engine gets past 2k RPMs, when it gets past the magical number it's golden but until then there's no power.
Didn't realize the TPS was the issue since he said the TPS voltage was jumping and I wasn't sure if it ended up being due to the wiring or the sensor...
Drives me nuts when people don't post up solutions to their problems, makes it hard when others come here for help and get nothing but open ended threads.
Anyone ever found a solution to this?
My brother and I took his 97' 80 out to Tahuya yesterday, after we stopped to hit the head we started...
My brother's Tacoma made a similar noise when the spot weld on the heat shield for the cat broke free, although yours definitely sounds like it's probably something rotational.
Put a jack under the lower control arm and lift the wheel off the ground then try to shake the tire, may have to use a pry bar but it sounds like you have either a bad ball-joint or a control arm bushing.
Don't suppose you checked the brake pads did you, also check to make sure you didn't hit the shield that goes around the rotor to make sure it didn't get damaged and is contacting the rotor.
