i have a 1994 reg cab 2.3 5 speed ranger, and truck sometimes will buck a slight bit, not too noticeable, but if i am coming to slow down and pop it into neutral, the truck will surge/hunt and go up and down in rpm, until i get to about 20 mph, and then it will smooth out and run fine, i have no tach, so im unsure of the rpm spike, and also it seems like it idles kinda high, i know it should when its cold, but its like that all the time. the truck did buck some upon acceleration, so i removed and cleaned the MAF and throttle body, and that has gone away, but the surging is still there. the CEL is on, not when i first start it up, but will come on shortly after running. and i will check that tomorrow with my dads scanner, i do not have the obd1 cables for mine. Just looking for some clues, or if this has happened to anyone else. i will update tomorrow when i check out the codes.
Thanks in advance
