1987 Ranger 2.9L 4x4 5sp
The engine runs perfectly most of the time, but once in a while it almost acts like it's being choked. It's especially noticeable while driving down open road or climbing hills. The engine loses power over a few seconds until it acts like it's going to stall then, very suddenly, it remembers how it's supposed to be running and runs great again. It bogs down and down and down then suddenly runs like it's brand new again. This happens every few minutes while driving and sometimes pumping the gas will help get it back to normal (haven't ruled out coincidental timing). Any suggestions??
