1988 Ranger 4WD with a 2.9 V6 = This has been an ongoing problem for several months. It first started by quitting running down the road. I got it home and wasn't getting fire. The next morning it started and ran fine. Drove it about 200 miles and the same thing. I have replaced the entire distributor including the ICM, Electronic pick up, cap, and rotor. I just replaced the coil tonight. No fire at first then it started. Now when it is running the coil will intermittently lose fire for a split second and then take off again. I drove it about 20 miles and other than bucking every now and again it runs fine. Thinking about running a hot wire straight to the coil from the battery; just to see if that makes it straighten up. Thoughts???
