I have a 96 Ranger, 3.0L with manual 5-speed trans, 97K miles. After I begin to drive the truck after it has been parked for an hour or more, It will pop. I will engage brake/clutch, start engine, release e-brake, fully disengage foot brake and ease out clutch. The truck will feel like it is stuck and then suddenly pops and burst into motion.
Sounds like you have a brake caliper hanging up, or your e-brake is not releasing properly. Have you tried parking it in gear (no brake) with the same result?
Thanks, I never even thought that it might be the brakes.
The cable to the right rear wheel is notorious for hanging up.
