Hey Steven, thanks heaps for that info mate. I'm pretty handy with petrol engines but with diesels I'm clueless. This afternoon after making this post, I was at some lights and hit the throttle and the hilux hesitated and bunny hopped heaps. I'm hoping you're right and it's the map sensor filter or something I take related. Just strikes me as strange that the issue so intermittent, a dirty AFM on a petrol car plays up all the time. Anyway, the way it hesitates leads me to think electrical so what you've said makes perfect sense. I'll crack the contact cleaner out and have a squizz at those parts. I've got to do the timing belt on it so I'll do it so in one go. Thanks again!

Hey everyone, recently my 2006 TD hilux has been experiencing an intermittent issue. It'll be idling (generally at lights) and when I accelerate to take off, it's extremely sluggish and the engine doesn't rev up. The engine sounds (to me) fine, but I'm no mechanic. Other than that issue, it very occasionally will stall whilst idling. I'm assuming these are a flybywire setup, is it possible that there's some electrical issue going on causing a delay or a complete screw up at the pedal, or am I potentially looking at something more sinister? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, Cheers!
