I am new to this forum thing. The prefix thing didnt have a 2.3 86 option. My 86 ranger 2.3 5 speed started acting up a couple weeks ago. I was pulling out of drive way and soon as i get up speed to about 2-4 gear it started acting like it was stalling out and jumping like it was trying to cut off then would back fire. I pulled over and drove back and didn't do it. And it dont do it in first gear. Thought one of the plug wires was arcking so i taped it up and drove it the next day and did fine. Then next day it started it really bad and couldnt even get outa 1st gear without it back fireing and acting like the fire was going in and out. So i replaced the plugs/plug wires/distributor cap/rotory button. Still continued issue so replaced the ignition module on the distributor. Drove it to work and did great until halfway there and started it again. So then i replaced the fuel pump on the rail and the fuel filter. Also replaced the coil to. But still has same issue. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated cause i am running out of ideas.
