Help! Lack of power 3VZE
Recently pickep up a 94 4x4 3.0v6. Engine was running a little rough so i did a tune up changed spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor. Also cleaned the MAF sensor ran a little better but its lacks power up acceleration!!! Did a compression test 175 across all cylinders. Truck has no catayltic converter. Anybody else had this problem? I NEED HELP!!! Aloha from the 808 state!!!

no, hes being legit. lol
5speed or auto?
Honestly, the 3.0 is a dog. they dont do well matched with hills, and especially dont if its the auto transmission.
since you say lacks power, im assuming you have an auto.
If your against an engine swap(to a 3.4 or something else)/transmission swap(to a 5 speed)... regear.

then downshift?
but yes, everything youve heard about this engine is correct. its the red headed, freckled, pale faced step child that toyota wants to hide in the closet.
You could regear, i love my 3.0 manual with 31's and 4.88's.

hahahahaha.... sorry, my sister in law had the same question with hers, thought there was something wrong with the runner after her husband had been driving it for a while; nope, it's just a 3vze, hahahahaha
they suck in the power department..... and fuel economy too!
I still can't stop laughing at the title of this thread, sorry.... I hope you actually find something wrong so you get more power back and you're not just experiencing the 3.sloooooow.... if not, welcome to the club.... search 3.4 swap

well if you have a miss..then OBVIOUSLY something is wrong with that cylinder/spark plug/plug wire/cap.
didn't know it came with 31's stock..since almost all toyotas get 31's added to them lol.
easy way to find out..check the VIN!
