I have a 1986 Ford Ranger 2wd. Last week, I started my truck up after work and it sounded like a diesel and it had NO power. It would die a couple of times and was very hard to start after that. I work at a GM dealership where neither I nor anyone else here really knows a whole lot about Fords... but we were able to narrow down the problem. We hooked the truck up to a Fuel System Cleaner to check if the fuel system was the concern, but the problem didn't go away. I did a block test to see it the heads were cracked (heard that was pretty common) and it checked out ok. We thought it might be a timming problem, but it idles ok and it doesn't rev up at all. We also did an exhoust back pressure test - came up clean there too... SOMEONE HELP!!!
