My '95 Ranger 2.3 L (270,000 miles) runs excellent until about a month ago when I was accelerating up a fairly steep hill and it felt like it was cutting out - but was OK when I eased up on accelerator. This happened off and on for a couple days. The CE finally came on and gave a 0701 code - lean mixture. At idle engine ran perfectly. I checked for vacuum leak and discovered the clamp on the rubber air tube from air cleaner and MAF connected to the throttle body was loose. I tightened that up and made sure all other vacuum elbows and connectors were OK. Wow! Truck ran better than ever. Problem gone.....for two weeks. I live in San Diego so no weather related issues.
Same issue has returned but now seems worse. Checked all vacuum parts, hoses and clamps again and all seem to be OK. Any ideas what I should check next?
