truck not accelerating

Asked by Valery Jul 31, 2019 at 04:02 PM about the 1997 Toyota Tacoma 2 Dr STD 4WD Extended Cab SB

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 1997 Toyota Tacoma, As I was driving to work today my truck started
slowing down (even though i was still pressing the gas pedal) and my RPM's
went up like i was pressing the accelerator without being in gear. It's a 5 speed
so my first thought is the clutch or the throttle position sensor. Any help would
be greatly appreciated
