Q: Deep bumping noise when accelerating and truck doesn’t accelerate very well
I have a standard ranger. When I start it up it idles fine but when I try to drive it hesitates and doesn’t let the rpms go up for me to accelerate. It also makes a noise when the engine is revved. It sounds like a deep “bump” if that makes any sense at all. I’ve replaced the fuel filter and still no luck

I just had my radiator replaced and it started and I drove five mins to store and it wouldn't start up back.
