Hi all!
I have a 1998 Ford Ranger XLT 4.0 5 speed with 112k miles, that cuts out for a second at cruising speeds of around 50-60 mph under light throttle on level ground.
The whole truck jerks, like the engine has quit for a second and then restarts or something. Its kinda scary on slick roads. I have replaced the coil pack, plugs, wires, and I think the fuel filter, but may replace it again to make sure. No CEL. I shall check the fuel pressure, but doesn't seem to bog or anything under load, takes throttle well.
Been doing this for a while, but seemed like on this very cold January day today that it was worse. It did this randomly three or four times in a span of 10 miles or so.
But believe it has done it on hot days too.
It runs fine otherwise, and doesn't seem to do it when under load or at any other speeds.
Any ideas would be much appreciated!
