I have a 1988 Ford Ranger 2.9 V6 2WD and I been experiencing some serious issues. I been trying to diagnose the Issue since i first got it. I bought it on Dec 28th, first thing I did was change,Spark Plugs,Cables,Oil, cleaned the injectors,oil filter, fuel filter and rebuild transmission since it was really bad. I would try driving it when it was cold it drove perfect after heating up and couple minutes of driving it, it starts getting sluggish it hesitates to go it chokes bad and it wants to shut off. It feels like a miss fire as well. I decided to get a new MAP sensor and TPS, Also changed the IAC valve.This weekend I took the Catilyc Converter out and installed a new O2 sensor. All of this helped tremendously but issue is still there. My next step is to replace injectors or my fuel pump. This truck has the the fuel pump housing in the tank and I feel like that's a big issue. Hopefully you guys can help and let me know if you guys have experienced any of this. Oh by the way in the process of getting me a ODB1 to check codes dont have one yet! Thank you guys
