It's an '85 B2, 2.9l, 5spd. At first it would lack power when cold, but once you drive it and get it into higher rpm's it would clear out and all of a sudden have power. It would then be fine for the rest of the day. Now it looses power randomly, and dies some times. I died on me in town and I thought it was out of fuel.. I parked it and it sat for almost an hour.. before putting fuel in I tried to start it, and it fired right up. I'm thinking it is a fuel issue... hoping it's just a fuel filter. I read somewhere that these have an in-tank fuel pump AND a fuel pump on the frame rail (?). There are no wires running to the tank, (Not even for fuel gauge) , so if it has two pumps it is only running off of the frame rail pump. It ran really well when I first got it, aside from it needing to be "cleared out" in the mornings, and it has gotten progressively worse.
I ran a large bottle of Lucas fuel treatment through it, which didn't help much. My other thought is maybe a clogged injector? It seemed to get worse after the fuel treatment.
Any ideas?
