92 jumpy ranger

I have a 92 Ranger that has 144,000 mi on it. It's a v6 3.0L w/manual transmission and has been a good truck so far. However recently the truck has started "jumping" when I am driving. It feels like there is a loss of power for a brief sec. At first it only did this for a few sec but now it does it all the time. It doesn't do it when I sit still so I know that it has nothing to do with the spark plugs. I was wondering if someone could tell me if this sounds Fuel line related or like a Transmission problem. Thanks. signed, Jiggled to Death

Sounds more like a loose wire connection or short somewhere that shakes loose or shorts out with road vibrations.

Thanks for using FTE!
