When pressing on the accelerator my safari bogs down and starts to lose power.

When on the hiway are pressing on the gas peddle to pass or gain speed my safari starts to lose power. I back off the peddle and it smooths out. If i slowly press the peddle it gains speed any help would be appreciated

Sounds like the accelerator linkage or kick down band of the transmission need adjustment.

An easy thing to check first is your air filter. If it is clogged, it can cause that problem. I speak from experience. Had the exact same thing happen with an '85 Oldsmobile.

Ranger looses power up hill

I am assuming you have the 2.3 liter 4cylinder engine.. This is common in all rangers straight out of the factory with that motor. Your asking alot out of a 4 cylinder truck that also get good gas mileage. they just do not have the capacity to gain speed up a hill. There are a few solutions for you that you could try. If it is a 5 speed manual transmission try to speed up before the hill and when you start losing speed go to 4th gear. this is also good for using as a passing gear as im sure you have noticed you lack power when trying to rapidly accelerate at highway speed to pass. an aftermarket cold air intake combined with a less restrictive exuast will give you anywhere from 5-20 hp gain AND give you more MPG's

Or you can buy a light truck with a v6 or v8 in it. rangers can be equipped with v6 as can chevy s10's. dodge dakotas have the availability of small block v8. this is of course will cost you alot in gas (based on experience) I am a 10 yr mechanic and have owned 2- 4 cylinder rangers a 93 and a 94 my dakota which i still own is a 01

Sounds like your catalytic converters may be plugged up. You can do a quick check by loosening the exhaust pipes from the manifolds and see how it performs.

My honda bogs down, then pick back up, consistently

Hopefully the fuel filter. If you floor it and it has a delay or it won't reach high RPMs it's most likely the cause.

My 1997 millennia S stumbles when you accelerate quickly

Hello. How many miles are on the vehical? Have you ever had, or changed the fuel filter(s)? . The spark plugs and wires? I recommend a quality tune up first to eliminate any small issues. Quinn, Arizona
