Losing power
Hello everyone, I recently joined the forum, I have a question for everyone.
I have a '95 F150 Eddie Bauer Edition w/ the 4.9 inline 6 w/ a 5 speed and 222K miles. Recently it started acting up as I accelerate, around 35 MPH, it would start to hesitate really bad and almost die and so I would limp it back to the house. I have changed out the fuel filter, the fuel pressure regulator (57 psi at idle and drops to around 45 PSI @ WOT), fouled out two sets of plugs, and verified all of my vacuum is good ( around 18" at idle). What else could causing this? Up until 35 MPH it goes good
Any help is appreciated, Thanks

This is the Pre-1997 F150 > Pre- 1987 / Classic Corner forum. You should post in a forum that's dedicated to your truck's year OR engine. And you should put ALL the truck's details & history (as much as you know) into your signature so it shows with each post, as this page explains:

Phone apps don't always show signatures, so you may need to switch to a real browser in desktop mode on your phone, or just use a desktop/laptop computer. Put your location (nearest city) in your profile & upload an avatar of the truck. The more pics you post of the truck, engine, wiring, labels, & undercarriage, the more likely we can help you. Not all its details are relevant to these issues, but you don't necessarily know which ones are relevant, so just put everything in now.
