Today after 23 years of driving, I had to be towed for the first time and the Ranger was the victim.
Symptoms : sudden loss of power, big engine vibrations at idle and engine can't get over 3K RPM. Check engine light flashing. I limped my way a bit before calling it quit. For a few seconds, it seemed like power was back only to bog down a moment later. This pattern repeated a few times.
According to what I read in search results, it may be misfiring problem.
The truck is a 2006 with only about 79K miles. Plugs & wires were replaced at 60K. Coil pack was replaced about a month ago. The original one still worked fine, but was cracked, so I replaced it.
Had the truck towed to a mechanic friend who will diagnose it tomorrow.
