:wtf2: I have a 96 hardbody, 2.4, 5 speed, and I am out of ideas!!! The truck runs good most of the time when it is cold, but then it looses alot of power untill it reaches 2800 to 3200 rpms, in which it feels like you've kicked in the four barrell. I originally thought that it was a timing issue, so I triple checked everything, no difference. I replaced every vacuum line on the thing and pressure checked the entire system. I checked the fuel pressure regulator and it was fine. MAF sensor is good, TPS is good, I dont know where else to go so please if there are anymore ideas i could use them.

:rotfl :dblthumb: :bigthumb: :mike :woot: Update!!! I fixed it, turns out the O2 sensor on the manifold was shot, but for some reason it was not throwing any codes?!?!?!? But i unplugged it and it ran like a top, replaced it and have'nt had another thought of trouble!!

Welcome to NICO! Good thing you found it because I was about to suggest either the water temp sender or the distributor/oil pump timing. Guess I would have been wrong.
