92 Ranger with the aweful 2.3 L. Ya, its always been underpowered, but more recently it has become significantly worse; to the point of having to run up the RPMs and slip the clutch quite a bit just to get it rolling and even then, it will sometimes stumble and backfire. Took it to the local shop and although the fuel filter was almost completely clogged, that didn't solve it. The mechanic said its similar to an issue they used to see with some Nissans, but for some reason they couldn't fix it, nor really figure out what was going on. The mechanic admitted that his shop didn't have the technical info for diagnosing this type of distributorless ignition system. It starts fine and idles fine, and cuises okay, but its when its under any type of load that it just falls flat. Any help, or point me to a resource that will help to diagnose and better understand this type of ignition system; OR could it be something else?
