I have a 2.7 06 and some days when I floor it it'll run great but some days it seems to lag really bad before gaining speed what can this be? No engine codes.
Sometimes a lost in acceleration

No tune up only 85k miles

I was thinking maybe temperature had something to do with it. Because hot days it'll do it. But doesn't seem to happen often.

Are you saying there has never been a tune up for 85k miles?
Tacomas should have the following done every 30k,60k,90k,120k, etc.:
Replace engine oil and oil filter 1
Rotate tires
Replace limited-slip differential oil, if equipped (4WD and PreRunner)
Replace spark plugs
Re-torque propeller shaft bolt
Grease zerks
Replace engine air filter
Replace cabin air filter
Additional Maintenance Items for Special Operating Conditions:
Driving While Towing
Replace front differential oil (4WD)
Replace rear differential oil, including limited-slip
Replace transfer case oil (4WD) Tighten nuts and bolts on chassis
Driving in Desert or On Dirt Roads:
Tighten nuts and bolts on chassis.
If none of this has been done in 85k miles I'm not suprised she's running strangely.

Since I've had the truck I found it's almost impossible to find out how much transmission fluid I need to drain and replace. I got the 2.7 mates to the 4 speed auto. And for oil I get a bigger filter k&n hp 2009 and 6 qts.
