Here goes, I have a 1986 Ranger and I'm having trouble with sputtering and stalling at idle and sometimes throughout rpm range. It has new vehicle speed sensor, fuel pumps, sending unit, o2 sensor, plugs, plug wires, coil, distributor, tfi module, tps, fuel pump relay. I have a fuel pressure gauge on it and it holds 40 lbs going down the road but it bleeds off kinda quick when its just primed. Also it died the other day, i left it in drive and it picked back up in like 100 feet. I watched the tach when this happened and it jumped up to like 300-500 while rolling then picked back and up and ran fine home. Any ideas? I've cleaned all electrical connections and checked them. I'm so freakin stumped and I need this fixed because I'm kinda stuck without it.
Could it possibly be the fuel pressure regulator? Also I can kinda hint a smell of raw fuel in the exhaust.
