I have a 90 Ranger with a 2.3 and 5 speed standard. I am having an issue that just started yesterday. When the truck is first started and cold, it will idle fine but when I start to go it will spit and sputter between 1500 and 2000rpms. If I rev it up over 2000 and let the clutch out it runs fine, but once I go below 2000 rpms it spits and sputters again. If it is reving under 1500 with hardly any load on the engine, just coasting it is fine but once I give it more than 1/4 throttle it will sputter up until it gets over 2000 rpms. Once the truck is warmed up it runs fine and this issue disappears.
I have had an issue that it will sputter when going up a hill and it is reving around 1500 - 2000 rpms in 4th or 5th gear. I don't know if the 2 issues are related but both are at the same rpms. No check engine light has come on and I haven't had a chance to check for codes yet.
Thanks.
