I acquired a 1988 Ranger XLT that has been sitting for almost 10 years. I have replaced both fuel pumps, cleaned tank out to where it is spotless, replaced fuel filter, injectors, fuel rail (mine got tweeked during removal), fuel pressure regulator, spark plugs, cap and rotor. It will only start when slightly mashing the pedal. And then it will rev really god for 2 or three times like that and suddenly will not go above 1500 rpm
I am at my wits end. Almost ready to push it outside and set it on fire.
The motor sound great when it is running as far as the bottom ends goes anyway. But it is like it only runs on 5 when it does rev and maybe on 2 or 3 cylinders when it won't rev up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Also I have done fuel pressure test. It has 40 psi for about 15 seconds then slowly drops to around 25. What causes it to not hold pressure? That is with it running about 1000 rpm
Please email me with any possibilities
Thank you
