    I have a 2000 3rd gen 4runner limited, and just recently it has started stalling after I press on the gas after coming to a stop(It's an automatic transmission). I had the oxygen sensors replaced because it was throwing a code for that and that did not fix the issue, it also will start stuttering at higher RPMs, my next guess would be the MAF sensor, but I'm just not sure. Does anyone have any possible solutions?

    All the maintenance that I know that has been done to the car is, replacing the throttle position sensor, replacing the throttle cable, replacing one of the fuel injectors, it got a new muffler, and that's about it besides routine maintenance like tires and oil.

    K well 200 so I'm assuming 200K or more?

    Spark Plugs?

    You said you replaced the TPS and cable. The stalling happen before/after?...

    I replaced the tps and cable before it started stalling, I don't think it's the spark plugs, but I will check them when I have time too.

    I mean air fuel spark. Something not getting there.

    If those are original plugs I'd start there. Not sure how long you had the 4R but based on assuming spark plugs are still good you may have other overdue items.
