Tacoma check engine light/no power

bigred · 08-02-2006, 09:16 PM

I need to know if anybody knows how to read the check engine light code by jumping the plug where the computer plugs into? I have done this on Fords and GM vehicles but have never done it on a Toyota. I have a
95-1/2 Tacoma 4wd, man tran, the only modification is a K&N air filter that came on the truck when I got it. After a full tune up including map and oxygen sensors the truck still runs like ****. If you go at the throttle real easy it is okay but if step on it from a dead stop, it bogs down like its choking. I can't figure it out and have yet to find anybody who can. Any ideas on anything to check? anything?

i would give the fuel system a good look, mainly the injectors. if every thing seems ok then i would check your timing.
