I've got a 1993 Ranger with a 4.0 5 sp man,and it is a 4x4. I was towing my boat last week up to phoenix during 100 degree weather. I was in 4 gear doing 2500 to 3000 rpms and going about 65 mph. North of Phx about two and half hours into the trip I lost all power and had to pull over. Tried the engine and it turned over but didn't start so I opened to hood and did the look thing, looks alright to me. Got back and it started up and I made it about 1000 feet and it died again. Cop pulls truck and boat off highway and suggest I clean the battery terminals and I did that. Madi another mile or so befor it died again. Went to make a call to get some help and had a bite to eat and the truck cooled down for about an hour. I was 20 plus miles to a hotel, it was memorial day so no help was coming that day. It started up an I end up driving back to Tucson(150 miles) that night when the temps out side were 25 degrees cooler and I only drove 55 on the way back.
The next day I did a tune up ,plugs&wires, cleaned the MAF, flushed the rad and put a new thermostat in and changed the fuel filter and the air. The next day I hook up the boat and head for a lake only 100 miles from here. Its late afternoon so it was only about 95 outside at the time. I made it about 60 miles and it died, on a two lane road with guardrail and no where to pull over. I got it to the side of the road and let it sit for 30 minutes and it fired right up and I made it back home. Right after it dies and I try to start some time it will start and run rough like its not getting fuel and when I pulled the plugs one had a frost on it if that helps.
I went and got a code reader and here are the codes I'm getting.
