91 ford ranger when you try to accelerate from a stop it loses power but runs fine once it gets going. Plus now when in park it will not stay idoloing it will start out at 1500rpms and then slowly cut down to 500 rpms and then drop out. I have replaced the fuel filter, plugs, distributor, distributor wires, MAFS sensor,throttle control sensor, pressure sensor and tempeture sensor on the vehicle as well as tried to retime it.

Well this could be in your timing. As cars get some miles on them the timing chain stretches therefore causing you car to lose alot of power.So you may want to have your timing set on this car. Also I had a taurus that had a bad torque converter, and it lost alot of power on hills and under loads, also when i gunned the gas pedal. so try the timing first. Hopefully you dont have a bad head gasket or a cracked head these symptoms you are describing are all signs of head gaskets or blown heads

This year of ranger had a few flaws, In one case, a break power booster was robbing the vacumm, you can test this by plugging it off and seeing the differance, but you will have limited brakes. This model year had a problem with a vacuum leak on the manifold. You can check these in many ways, but please don't use starting fluid. The rear of the manifold usually on the drivers side where it seals to the block.
Also, in 2 other cases a cracked head has gave me the same problem. It is caused from a loss of vacuum.

You mention no check engine light, and all the work you've done leave one solution; Your catalytic converter is clogged.

When you replace you catalytic converter your issues will cease. This is a very common problem, and a simple fix.

I hope this information helps and I wish you luck with your repair.

SOURCE: my truck idling low and spitting gas out exhaust

Hello Charles...I don't know what engine package you have in your ranger the 3.0 or 4.0 litre, but regardless, a diagnostic scan needs to be performed to determine the cause of the problems. Sounds like the Electronic Engine Control (EEC-IV) has stored hard codes. A self test can be performed where Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) are transmitted on the Self Test Output (STO) wire located on the vehicle self test connector. The codes are in the form of timed pulses, and are read by the technician on a scan tool or the CHECK ENGINE light. With the information recieved the proper repairs needed to correct the problem can be determined, other wise you are just guessing.
Good Luck...i hope this helps and will fixya up.

91 Explorer 6cyl XLT standard is super hard to start, the engine sounds muffled when starting and while running, quickly overheated once it was running, looses power when pressing accelerator.

Could be a clogged catalytic converter. It could also be a bad head gasket allowing some coolant to enter the cylinders. Check for milky grey oil.

The truck runs fine. I come to a stop light, and

Fuel Filter-clogged. Fuel Pump binding mechaniclly or low volume. Are you sure you have no stored codes and do you really know from a very technical description what diagnostic work was done by your guy? Is it under warranty, I assume not ,if you r Dealer wasn't involved

Ford ranger is running rough!

First Change the pluggs ( I really like the bosch platinum plus 2's ) wires and distributor with rotor if you have one. Next make sure the air filter is good, then take some carb cleaner and spray clean your throtle body till it is very clean. (at your own risk) try a product called SEAFOAM, you can watch on UTUBE how to use it. Also being that is a 1990 there could be some compression problems. get a tester and go to each plug whole and verify that your compression is good. I have heard people getting really good results from Marvel's mystery oil, and doing a soak of the pistons over night. You can look that up online aswell, I am assuming only that you have the ford 2.9 V6. It was never a power house to start with, but using a synthetic oil can help. Also when is the last time you changed the fluid and or filter in your transmission, using royal purple and a good filter can make a big difference in power distribution. change the fluid in the rear also.

Try this and let me know.
