Lacking Power

[Pk Eng]

Hi there,

Having a problem with my 2002 hilux. Usually changing up from 1st to 2nd gear i experience a lack of power. This is usually rectified by depressing clutch and giving engine a few extra revs. This clears the problem. Recently though this does,nt work and i just have to drive through the problem. So far power has always returned. Does anyone know what the problem could be.

When did you last change the fuel filter ?

Filter changed recently, made no difference

Strange, if you rev to 2k then change to 2nd gear do the revs just fall away ?

Have a look through the hilux site in my signature

Usually the problem appears going from 2nd into 3rd, had got a lot worse last few days, no reving at all. Found a plug into air flow meter with broken wire, repaired that which has made a improvement. But still the original problem exists, i,m wondering now could air flow meter be knackered?
