I have a 1984 Ranger, 5 speed, 2.8 liter. Recently the engine has started dying unexpectingly. I thought it was a fuel problem, but both tanks are full and gas is in the carb. It seems like it is electrical, like maybe not getting spark. The engine turns over and everything. It will start up after sitting a little while and then I may not have the problem for another 3-4 days. It did it today and I got it started up after sitting for a few minutes. I got it home and left it running to see if I could duplicate the problem and it ran for 15 minutes in my driveway with no problems. I almost wonder if I am getting some type of carb icing going on. I just can't get it to duplicate the problem because it is so eratic. Any suggestions?? Thanks
