06 Tundra bad hesitation in passing gear *video*

[huntsonora]

Any help would be appreciated. The other day I was coming home from NM and tried to pass a truck and when it dropped down into gear to pass it hesitated badly. I was at about a 1/4 tank when this happened and when I was able to recreate the issue yesterday I was also at or about a 1/4 tank of gas. The gas level is the only common denominator I can find. Here is a link to the symptoms I am seeing...

This is a video of normal passing and I have 3/4 tank of gas....

I am at a loss as to what could cause this. I thought bad gas but I filled up with Shell 87 octane and used Seafoam because I had some and it did it again. Anybody ever had this issue and if so what did you find the problem to be?

Thanks!

Forgot to mention that the Check Engine light has not come on....

MAF sensor looks good and I cleaned the throttle body and still had the hesitation

I'd copy and paste this to tundrasolutions

I did, and tundra talk...

I'm heading to Illinios on Monday and want to figure it out before then. Thanks bud

Have you ever replaced the fuel filter?

 

[huntsonora]

I haven't. The fuel filter is in the tank on the 05's and 06's

Wanted to update this thread as the problem is fixed. Replaced the fuel pump assembly today and have had no issues.

My problems started at 1/4 tank of gas and I think that as the tank got lower the pump was getting hot. The tank was spotless as was the pump and filter so it was definitely the pump

I have seen others have this issue and wanted to post my "fix" in case they do a search to try and figure it out
