Lori I have an 85 ranger been driveing it for close to 30 year
It runs perfict
The problem is your carburetor needs to be rebuilt .
If you have the 2.8 L Its the 2150 2-v witch is most likely seeing you have a F150 . The 20L uses the YFA 1-V 1 barrel .
They did use throttle body fuel injection but not many of the had it
The kit is 30 dollars for the carb .
It can be done in under an hour and back on the manifold.
I will give you sombody to call if you need parts for this vehicle LCM trucks 1800-562-8782 .Not for the carb kit you can get that at any auto store .But parts are hard to get like AB valves witch you likely need to its all comtroled by air vacuum and that thing that looks like an old can of tomato juice is a vacuum resiveior make sure it dosn't have rust holes in it or you don't stand a chance
Good luck www.LCMtruck.com

Car will only start, with a gas prime, and idles but dies if put into gear

Have you checked fuel pressure ?
Have you replaced the fuel filter when you replaced the pump ?
These things and more would need to be checked if you haven't already done so.
And what is the year and model ?

2000 Hyundai accent acts as if it is starving for gas. when you start the car it idles real rough. When you depress gas pedal to give it gas the engine dies. When on the road if you give it gas it goes...

We've have the same problem with ours. We found the fuel canister needed replaces. It's mounted near the back bumper with straps. The part cost us about 125 bucks and was pretty easy to replace. The trick is to get the bolts out without snapping them.
