I'm Sure You've Checked This
Awhile back my '89 V6 truck was in for service. Don't even remember why. However, while the guys were working on my truck, they found a hose that was cracked. Apparently, it wasn't very easy to see that it was cracked, but once it was replaced my truck sure as hell ran better. I can't even remember which hose it was (vacuum line?). Point is, it may be worthwhile to make good and damn sure that ALL engine hoses are in perfect condition. When I hear of a situation like yours, it makes me think there is something obvious that for whatever reason is being overlooked.
I also think that a good Toyota mechanic would figure this out in pretty short order. And, you will look long and hard before you find a better built truck (don't think you will). Please keep us posted, and good luck!

Yep. You'd be surprised at how crippling a bad or disconnected hose could be to your engine. Especially vacuum lines.
Good things to check and not too expensive to replace.
