Great information! Its a 2.9l. This happened when the truck was idling, I was watching a Tacoma try and get himself unstuck. It really felt like a computer lost connection or overheated so I'll rip open the "tfi" and see if it has any corrosion

I have a 89 ranger that randomly died while going camping, it would not immediately restart. The total trip took about an hour and a half before it died with alot of very steep inclines. After 10 min of checking fuses and connections/grounds it restarted after finding no obvious issues. Was...
