99 4runner 4cyl acting up

Hey everyone , I own a 99 4runner it has the 2.7liter in it and it's auto 2wd. I'm running 31 inch tires and have 230k on it . Never had any issues out of it . I went out to the beach today and I noticed it was really sluggish and out of power going up the sand . Most the time I don't have a problem. But today it just felt like it wanted to bog the motor down . I don't have any codes popping up . No misfire and perfect compression in all cyclinders . It just had a tune up 5 k ago and a fresh oil change last week. Just wanted to get some feedback .


Here are some of the ideas I have it could be .

clogged cat ?
needs injectors?
intake has a leak maybe?
or motor is going out?

Not sure never had a problem like this on any of my vehicles .


Transmission is fine no slipping and fluid smells and looks great.

No noise from the rear end.

I also have another problem that has been with the vehicle for like 10 years now . The pedal has a little stick when you push it it pops , Its not the intake i checked that and its not the pedal I replaced that . Just seeing what you guys think of that.



Sorry if it's a little confusing just trying to name everything I can think of

thanks again
 
Everything you mentioned would throw a code. Are you sure your check engine light works? I'd start by cleaning the MAF and see if that helps.

Not sure about your sticky pedal. If it's not the pedal and not the intake.. what else could it be? Your floor mat?
