I have a 1989 B2 with a 2.9 and manual 5 speed and 2WD. Runs geat. Good acceleration. I also have a 1989 Ranger with the same equipment. Same rear axle in both. Acceleration in the Ranger is poor. It has been this way since I bought it 3 to 4 years ago. Did the tune up stuff, plugs-wires-cap-rotor-coil-air filter, right after I got it. Recently it got a new fuel pump-filter-fuel regulator installed due to about a gallon of water in the tank. Had high hopes of improvement after replacing the fuel regulator but acceleration is no better. Any ideas on the next step to take? I have even swapped the throttle postion sensor but it too did not help.
