4runner shinnanigans in BFE...
Hey all. I'm new to this so be nice please:-) I'm having some serious trouble with a 2000 4Runner with the 5FVZFE V-6 with 165,000mi. The engine is bogging down/ sputtering and dying on startup, won't drive over apx. 20-30mph, doesn't seem to want to shift up or down, and won't rev past 3000rpms, stopped or driving. I've been a mechanic for awhile and never seen this issue before. But here's the kicker...
 I'm in bfe Afghanistan, have almost no access to parts (if I do it takes quite awhile to get them and even the easy stuff is hard to find), no diagnostic comp, and only the tools in my toolbox, air compressor, and solvent tank. Any ideas or reasons and how to test with what I have would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Re: 4runner shinnanigans in BFE...
PM me with your e-mail address and let me send you a service manual. It sounds to me like a fuel pump or filter or injector issue. Get the manual and go through the troubleshooting. Come back with questions. The best I could do is read you the troubleshooting procedure.
Maybe we can work something out with the parts problem.

Re: 4runner shinnanigans in BFE...
Thanks for the help, it turned out that the MAF was extremely dirty, so I cleaned that, then changed the old fuel filter out with a "new" filter(it was cleaner than the one that was on there). Seems to have fixed it.
