Truck won't accelerate?

Question

I have a 89 Toyota pickup and I'm having a problem. When I start to drive, it barely goes. After about 15 seconds or so, it finally gets going, but then I have to shift into 2nd, at which point it does the same thing again for about another 15 seconds.

Any idea what this might be?

Answer 1

clutch is on it's way out... verify by watching your tachometer vs your speedometer

Answer 2

depends on how low of RPM's your shifting it at. But if your a pro driver then it's either your fuel filter, your throttle body needing to be cleaned, or possibly but unlikkely loosing compression.

Answer 3

try a new fuel filter,it could be blocked...
