02 Ranger 3.0 passing gear probs.

[Chamran]

I have an 02 Ranger automatic trans 4wd. It runs great until kicking into passing gear then it buck, jerks and loses power. Once I let off the gas in a few seconds it goes back to running great. I'm thinking maybe a torque converter problem since the runs great. Any help is greatly app.

Almost sounds like it's starving for fuel.

Hmmm? Never thought about a fuel problem since the engine runs great under normal operation. Thanks.
