Hello everyone, I am new to the group and would love some help, thanks!
I have a ford ranger 1996 4.0 v6 and recently while driving it bumped a couple of times, while losing power then shutoff. The truck would not overheat and would keep running for about 4-5minutes before it would start bumping again. I had to have it towed home. I have changed a couple of things; crank pos sensor, coolant temp sender and sensor, new battery terminals, had a new MAF, TPS and IAC valve and fuel filter before that incident. I just picked up a new PCV valve too( the old one wasn't clogged but i was able to blow through both sides of it and let air through?) and a new ignition switch.
If anyone has any ideas of what it could be it would be really appreciated to get the Ranger Danger back on the road
