Engine problem
1996 Toyota Rav4 V4 All Wheel Drive Automatic 100,00 miles

Rav looses power and hesitates after 40mph or 3000rpms especially on up hill driving. I have changed the fuel filter, cap rotar, and plugs.

Have the throttle position sensor, the mass airflow meter and the fuel pressure check.
