Just bought this for $2000.00 I'm very new to toyota motors..so ill be researching and developing skills here..I've been a dsm'r for a very long time..any way. Here's a couple pics of it. It needs a bit of work still..nothing major..just need to figure out why its running extremely rich and bucking at light throttle..

Nice ride, and welcome to the forum.

 

The bucking might be your TPS being slightly out. I have just dealt with that issue on mine.

Thanks for the welcome..ya know I just read up in that and will be adjusting it tomorrow. Tho I did unplug it today and revd the motor and there was absolutely no difference..so could it possibly be a dead sensor all together?

The TPS can be out by a few mm and it can throw the ECU out as if its not even plugged in. Have you run a diagnostic test to see if its throwing any codes?

 

And prepare to be frustrated, TPS adjustment is finicky.

I havnt pulled codes yet. I just found the diagnostic plug today lol. But after about 10 min of driving the cel comes on..I'm searching for a good write up on how exactly to tackle this tps situation..
