I have a 1998 4.0. It jerks, spits, and sputters at random times ant random speeds. One day it'll drive like a brand new one, then a couple days later itll jerk like hell. It pretty much does it whenever it feels like it. I have taken it to a local shop, replaced MAF sensor, SEEMED like it helped it for a few days, til it did it again. Replaced coil pack, didnt help it. Replaced fuel pump for 2nd time, didn't help. Feul filter, nope. Plugs, wires, ran smoother but nope. Cleaned IAC, put heet and seafoam in tank, checked for vacuum leaks, ive tried almost everything possible. I changed the Throttle Position Sensor a few days ago, seemed like it helped quite a bit, but today it did it again. Yes, ive checked the CEL, all it says is Lean/Rich condition or whatever, no help. If anyone at all has any idea, or has had this problem and fixed it, or anything else, i'd like to hear it! I love these rangers but after this, i dont know anymore...
Edit: I also replaced pcv valve and o2 sensors, both didn't do anything.
