    I have a 2008 Toyota Tundra with the 4.7 liter in it. A couple of weeks ago I would be sitting at a red light and would go to take off and it would sputter out and stall on me. I would throw it in park and it would start right back up. Would do it about 4 times a day. I cleaned this mass air flow sensor and the problem was still there. I then cleaned the throttle body and problem was fixed for about 3 weeks. Just yesterday I was driving about 30 miles per hour and acceleration dropped and I put the pedal to the floor and it kicked back in. Check engine light is not coming on so no codes to gives. Not super knowledgeable with this stuff so any info would help. Need to figure the problem out I’m about to take the truck on a road trip. Thanks!

    Welcome from Obx, sounds like maybe a fuel issue, filter, pump, or possibly your injectors. You could try a can of sea foam , see if that might clear things up. Good luck, let us know what ya find out.

    Check for fault codes, just because there is no dummy light doesnt mean there aren't any fault registered which may help give you a direction of which way to proceed with diagnostics.
