95 2.3 auto 2wd long bed; drove across tampa to drop off a job app. about 40 miles each way. not much traffic so move right along. had to redo app at the place so truck was parked for 3/4 hour in the sun. temp about 85 to 87. on the way back, truck lost power, acted like it's out of gas. 5 minutes later, started right up ran for 1 traffic light. 10 min later started again, took it to my daughter's 1/2 mile away at 5 mph sat for an hour. ran fine for another 20 miles and started crapping out again. every time i had to slow down, either by touching the brake or just letting up on the gas to coast, it would die. 4 miles from home it started with the bucking that it does when the O2 is bad this O2 sensor is less than a year old. 1 mile to go and it wouldn't. had to get the 88 and tow dolly. 95 drove right onto the dolly
