Angry Ruff Running 93 Aerostar

THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING IS AS IF THE PLUGS OR WIRES WERE BAD. BUT I HAVE REPLACED THEM 2X, NO CHANGE. I REPLACE THE FUEL FILTER AND THE COIL STILL NO CHANGE. WHEN U ARE GOING UP HILL THE ENGINE KICKS BACK UNTIL THE ROAD LEVELS OUT OR UNLESS U GIVE IT MORE GAS. WHEN I TAKE OFF FROM A RED LIGHT IT ACTS LIKE SOMETHING IS HOLDING IT BACK UNTIL U GIVE IT MORE GAS OR JUST FLOOR IT. WHEN I SART IT IN THE MORNINGS IF I DON'T GIVE IT GAS AND HELP IT WARM UP IT WILL SHUT DOWN. DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT TO DO??

This may help: Get some fuel injection cleaner and put it into your fuel tank. Over time, your engine gets deposits and other junk in the injectors and cylinders, and that can cause the engine to stall when either sitting too long with engine running, hesitation when taking off from a stop, hard starts and general bothersome crap.

Slick 50 High-Mileage Fuel Injector Cleaner does pretty good after a few hundred miles. About $10 for one bottle, I believe.

Does it put out some dark smoke when it first cranks? Could be a fuel pressure regulator going bad. Pull the vacum line going to it & see if their is any drops of gas.This my best guess with out seeing any codes.

Sounds like a catalytic convertor problem.
