My 88 ranger with a 2.3 is giving me a few issues.
First I needed new plugs/wires, and a cap and rotor. they were old and causing some very hard starting. but that problem is solved. now I have a new one.
the thing hesitates and seems slightly underpowered.
it seems to hesitate more if i get it to higher RPM(3.5-4k) and then shift.
after about a second of hesitation itll go fairly normal. Like i said it's more noticable when driving harder but you can always feel it. Right after a shift.
My air filter is kinda dirty, getting a new one of those. but I've seen worse.
My idles moves around a bit, about 300rpm both ways when cold, less when warm.
Put fuel injector cleaner in it and I'm wondering if my IAC or fuel filter could cause this? any ideas?
