1989 Ford Aerostar 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

hard starting run rough will smooth out but will not take acceleration, pops and act like it flooding out. New fuel filter, air filter, when running in gear it act like it bogging down until I let up off pedal and press again. After shutting off then engine it acts like its out of gas, will start after many attempts.

Hi, how long since a tune-up? Any trouble codes? I'd still have to use a gage and check fuel pressure. Around here, some of the national brand autostores used to loan out a fuel pressure gage. With extended crank, visually check for spark at the plugs, then check fuel pressure.
