95 Ranger with engine trouble.

[paperman33615]

I have a 95 ranger standard trans 4 cylinder 2.3 motor. My problem is that it idles smooth, I can hold it at 3000 rpms and it's fine. But, When I drive it (just in 1st gear) for maybe a minute or 2 it's like someone pushed a run like crap button. 1st I can feel it starting to run rough, then it feels like it running on a few cylinders, and then it dies. After that I get it back home and the cycle repeats its self the next attempt. I've put new plugs and wires, drain ed the gas, crank position sensor, throtle position sensor, mass air sensor, and checked all vacumn hoses.
If someone could help me out with this, that would be great. I hope I'm not the only one in the world that has this problem.
THANKS TONY

Welcome to this forum! I've moved your thread into the Ranger section. You might have bad gasoline, water in the gas, clogged fuel filter, vacuum leak, or bad spark plugs.
