2.3 86 Ford ranger
So when the engine is cold it works perfectly but after about 30 mins of driving it, it starts bucking especially when I floor it, I’m thinking it’s a fuel pump issue but not 100% positive and this model has 2 fuel pumps a low and high pressure and if does happen to be a fuel pump issue which on would it most likely be?

Could be vapour lock if the fuel rails are near the exhaust or get hot. Just a thought. Not too familiar with this era engine, but check your dist. cap as well. I had a Fairmont that did the same thing, the distributor cap was worn out.

I replaced the distributor cap a few months ago but I’ll make sure the connections are good
