Hello, I am driving a 99 ford ranger manual 4-cyl. Recently, it has been having a tough time staying running. It seems to turn over fine, but i have to give it extra gas for a while, or the whole thing dies. as long as i give it a little gas, especially during idle times, it seems to drive fine. a peculiar thing is that after ive been driving it for a while, (10 minutes at least), it no longer requires me to gas it during idling, however it seems to have this sort of rumbling cycle where it will almost quit, and i notice the voltmeter dips as well. I have taken it into a few places, and i get no clear answer. the battery is new. someone suggested that it might be the alternator, another place said it couldnt be the alternator. I am afraid that if i cant figure it out soon, it will get worse, and ill end up having to take it into a place and spending way too much. at any rate, if anyone has any ideas, i would be very appreciative.
thanks,
Mark
