Hi all - appreciate any advice.
'94 Ranger 2.4L Automatic
The truck starts fine when cold - sounds fine, drives fine.
After about 5 minutes or so it warms up and just goes crazy. Loses all power and sputters, hesitates. If you stop, put it in park and then put it back in drive it will just jerk and stall unless you really feather the gas, then it will just barely move - hesitates and jerks, sputters. If you put it in neutral and stay on the gas it will stay running, although it sounds different than when idling cold. After warm-up and issues start, it will not idle without your foot on the gas. After it dies, it will restart only if you floor the gas.
I've cleaned the intake and the MAF.
What should I try next? Any ideas appreciated. Thank you!
