Hey so I was hoping to get some tips and feedback on what this problem could be.

I was driving and all of a sudden i lost the ability to accelerate. I was pushing on the gas pedal but getting no response until about 3-4 seconds later then it kicked in and accelerated fine but i lost it again. It felt almost like i was running out of gas but the gas guage was not empty. I pulled over and turned the truck off. I tried to start it and it barely turned over and started but idles really rough around 200 rpm. I replaced the spark plug wires, coil pack, and fuel filter. I cleaned the IAC valve really well and checked the battery voltage and it read 12.5V. I also cleaned the MAF sensor. Now it turns over but wont even start. Any ideas or suggestions?....
Thanks,
Josh

 

little more info about your truck will help...year engine and mileage

 

sorry. 1999 ford ranger 3.0L. 95,000 miles

 

id try replacing the fuel pump next...might be the cam sensor too...was your check engine light on when the truck started acting up

 

i was thinking it was the fuel pump but it sounds like it works when i turn the key on. check engine light is on so i'll try and scan it to see what it is. I was just hoping to narrow it down without scanning it because i don't have a scanner. ha

 

Check the fuel pressure (free) before changing the pump (co$t).
