Hey guys im new to this website my older brother used to use it all the time when he was building his rangers so im kinda familiar with it but not so much anyway about 2 months ago i traded my car for a 1988 ford ranger stx 5speed it has a 6inch skyjacker lift with 33x12.50r15 pro comp mudd terrians so when i got the truck i noticed it was not a powerhouse because it had a 2.9 and 33s so i didn't think anything of it until one day i got in it and i went to pull out and it just died so i figured ahh i just stalled it so started it back up and i had to ride the clutch alittle bit just for it to pull out now when it started acting up a lot it cuts out going up hills in 3rd gear almost like it shuts off completely and comes right back on so i called up my brother an told him the whole story hes like it could be a weak fuel pump so i popped the hood and pushed down on the valve stem looking thing on the driver side of the motor and gas is just like flowing out like it has low fuel pressure now i wanted to get someones advice before i go out and replace both fuel pumps because my luck it will be a cheap fix but if any of you guys have any thoughts on what may be wrong i would greatly appreciate the help! thanks,justin
