dies while 4wheeling

Well when I go 4 wheelin and get half way up hills and stuff the Bronco will just die. It idles really ruff too. Sometimes it will be ideling at about 900-1000 rpms and then just drop to 700. Could this be the o2 censor or what?

Carbed or injected? With a carb it could starve for fuel at inclines. Holley makes truck carbs that are good for fixing that.

If it's injected theres another problem.

Could be a dirty fuel filter, clogged injector, or siticking IAC valve, or more. Can you pull any codes?
