Engine idles fine but looses power when drivinghe

[TBRAZIL]

I have an 89` 4x4 ranger with the 2.9 and it sat for a couple years but i put it back on the road with a new fuel pump, starter, alternator, fuel filter...etc and for a while it ran fine but lately it will idle perfectly but when you drive it it looses all power and almost cuts off when youre more than a little into the throttle but if you hit the clutch it will rev up fine but as soon as you get out of the clutch it dies again. please help i really need this truck for work and my wife is getting tired of gettin up 2 hours early to drop me off.

Same here. Especially since this is all happening under load. Did you also change the cap, rotor and wires on the ignition.
