I have a 1986 Ranger, I got it a couple of years ago and have put the following parts on it. Injectors, spark plugs, calipers, bearings, clutch, and rotors. I started to drive it and noticed that when I would put the throttle peddle down to the floor it would not rev up but die down. I drove it 25 miles before one of the intank fuel pumps went out. I switched tanks and got another 25 miles before the other fuel pump went out. Trailered it home and changed the fuel pumps. Also changed the high pressure pump. Ever since then though it has not run well. When first starting the idle jumps all around. And to keep it from dying I have to put the throttle on a little bit then let it off very quickly. After a bit and the engine has warmed up some I can rev it up by pumping the peddle. But if I just put the peddle most of the way to the floor it will die.
I've noticed that there is a lot of moisture in the exhaust.
Things I've checked so far are these: good consistent spark to each spark plug, fuel pressure regulator is working correctly, map sensor. I found the egr wasn't working so replaced that and it still runs just has bad.
If I rev the engine up and then let the clutch out with the rpms high it will move forward. But if I let the clutch out even slipping it with the rpms down a little above a high idle it will instantly die.
I've tested the fuel pressure and it was good.
Any ideas? I'm so stomped over this one.
