this is pretty much my first car...my dad drives a toyota land cruiser. I understand the 4runner might not drive as nicely as my dad's car but this is rediculous. I live in kansas, right in the middle of the plains, and it can't handle the hills here. I can't imagine living in a hilly area...

alright, I removed the sensor and found it to be pretty clean. There might be a very small amount of build up but nothing that I would consider to be "crud". I'm almost certain that it isn't the problem but I'll try cleaning it anyway...thanks for the advice...any more?

it defenitly seems like it is underperforming. I can't imagine any manufacturer making a car this underpowered. This problem is so annoying that if I can't find a way to fix it I'll probably be considering a new car.

I'm not sure if my 2002 4runner is acting normal or not. While running at speeds around 75-78 mph my 4runner likes to hunt through gears even on fairly small hills. All I know is that is is extrememly annoying. Sometimes the rpm sky rocket and I end up being slung shot over the hill at 85...
