My car would begin to accelerate in a jerking motion and the "check engine" light would come on. A scan showed code P 1003 (intake air temperature sensor 1 circuit high). After changing the air temperature sensor the "check engine" light came on again; this time a scan showed code P 2195 (O2 sensor (oxygen sensor) signal biased/stuck lean bank 1 sensor 1).
The car continues to accelerate in jerks, as though there is not enough fuel. Would you happen to know what this could be?
Thanks

SAE J2012 Revised DEC2007 lists Diagnostic Test Code (DTC) P0133 as "O2 Sensor Circuit Slow Response Bank 1 Sensor 1"

This code basically means that the upstream oxygen sensor on bank one of your engine is not responding as quickly as it should to changes in oxygen leavels in the exhaust.

The usual causes of this is an oxygen sensor that is just plain worn out (if it has a lot of miles on it) or an oxygen sensor that is contaminated by engine oil or antifreeze leaks causing these fluids to be burned in the exhaust (like bad piston rings, defective PCV valve, blown head gasket, etc.).

In any case, the oxygen sensor needs to be replaced. However it should be noted that if it is caused by contamination like that described above, replacing it will only result in a new oxygen sensor doing the same thing if the cause of the contamination is not repaired.

How do I retreive the check engine codes

Take it to a shop that has an OBD1 scanner. The parts stores only have scanners that check 1996 and newer OBD2 systems. You can access flash codes but you will need to purchase a manual or find the procedure online. It involves jumping a couple of connectors at a diagnostic box on the right engine fender well.

Front oxygen sensor code. Check the vacuum line to the fuel pressure regulator and make sure it is ok before you replace the sensor. Any vacuum leak can also cause the code.

How do I reset the check engine light on a 1996 Toyota 4runner 4x

Remove the positive battery cable, step on brake for 10 seconds, then reconnect cable. This clears your ECM of the fault code, but will not eliminate the fault (which, will reset and re-light the "check engine" bulb within 50 miles if it is really a defective component).

Why would my check engine light be on. I have a toyota 4runner

Your vehicle’s computer system has self-testing capability. When the computer senses that there is a problem with some of the components it stores the correspondent trouble code(s) in its memory and lights up the "Check Engine" or "Service Engine Soon" light to tell you that there is a problem and you will need to have the car diagnosed and repaired.
