What are your thoughts???

My 4-runner had been running great all summer. The last trip out to the hunting club it fired right up but when I pulled out on the road and hit 3rd it bogged down when I gave it gas, to the point that when I pushed in the clutch it cut off, then it would hardly start. After letting it sit for a while it fired back up and ran fine again for a little while then started doing it again. When giving it has it acts like it is not getting fuel. I have been putting sea foam and the stabile E85 treatment in the gas since it does sit for several weeks between uses.

I dont have any codes being tripped, does it sound like trash in fuel line? It has a new filter on it done in March when I did the head. Just looking for things to try, it is a ways away from any shops and I cant get big tools to it since it is at the hunting club.

Thanks for any input!

Yup. Check your filter, if it's clogged or dirty I'd drop the tank.

Sounds like a fuel pressure/metering issue. You might hook up a gauge and check it. With the ethanol in the petrol these days, I've had to completely rebuild the fuel system in our 1990.

Start with the fuel filter, it's inexpensive and relatively simple.
