Default 1992 Ranger 2.3L 4 Cyl weak or missing a little going up hills?

Ok here is the problem I having when going up hills the truck runs like it is missing/skipping a little and very weak?Then when I come to stop at a long red light it acts like it don't want to go/weak/hesitating on winding out and occasionally I smell fuel?And when i crank it up in the mornings it wants to go dead right away.But will crank it up the 2nd time and will stay running like it is supposed to and when coming to stop it idles a little rough not real bad?

Ok this is what i have done to it changed the spark plugs and wires but notice the wires that pop on the coil pack don't want to clip on real good and tight and like one side of the clips on the wires wants to pop loose.The spark pluds where not in great shape matter of fact like they have never been changed from 1992 and the plug wires had never been changed but still having the same proble as described in the top paragraph.I have checked all the vaccum lines and they are in good shape no leaks and the coil packs look ok too don't hear no popping noises.Please help me on this situation?Thanks,Robbie

The check engine light does come on occasionally off and on and went to autozone to try to get them code read it and they said they don't do these models which mine is a 1992 Ranger and has 8 plugs and is 2.3L 4 cyl 5 speed.I have tried everything but have not checked no sensors yet?

Friend of mine told me it was the coil packs as you can tell when they are bad when going up hills just don't want to throw a lot of money into it as I'm on a tight budget as my wife is out of work and its just me working.

I checked maf sensor and it looks very clean and filter looked good also.. Help my mine is boggled.

Thanks,
Robbie
