95 XLT 2.3 auto 2wd. last fall the truck started acting like I had bad gas. dropped tank; real clean. ok, new filter, fresh gas. still did it. suggestions included fuel pressure regulator and fuel pump. dropped tank again, new pump. problem gone (that's how I spent my Christmas morning)
today it started doing it again. limped 40 miles back from the Lake Mirra Classic show, stalling every time I had to come to a stop. I could keep it running if I could keep the rpm's up while braking.
below the battery is a square box/canister with a hose that leads to a pipe between the 1st and 2nd intake runners. there are 2 devices with wires connected to the hose. the hose was split so I put a new hose on. the truck starts but i'm not doing a test ride in the dark.
my questions are; what is the canister? pollution device? and what do the 2 electric things in the hose do? (and what are they called).
in 2 weeks I will be driving sixty miles each way to work, instead of the 2 1/2miles I now drive. having just swapped trannies, put on new tires and mounted the receiver hitch, I am getting tired of working on this truck. I need reliability
