I have an 83 ranger with 2.3 carb. 4-speed
I've replaced a few things:
Fuel filter, fuel pump, radiator, and other misc things like brakes and tune up.
It had been sitting for a while so i pulled the tank and emptied it and put new fuel in. i've also been running cleaner through it.
The problem
It dies when im using the brakes. Only after i've gone into gear (doesnt matter which gear) but when i go to slow down it loses rpm and dies. It doesnt die when its sitting in neutral and i use the brake. It doesnt die any other time (drives fine) but when i go to use the brake it almost always dies. Also ONE time it was stuck idling at 2000 rpms, but it hasn't happened more then once. I used the google machine and all i got was brake booster but if im not mistaken i dont even have a brake booster. I saw that i could buy one but when i looked after my master cylinder their was nothing so i have no idea.
PLEASE HELP!
