The problem was a bad air temp sensor. Put the new one in and BINGO I am driving again, Thanks for the ideas everyone.
For what it's worth anyone chasing a bogging no power problem I suggest Air Temp Sensor replacement code or no code

that is the first time I have heard about that sensor being an issue.........and I have read about 100k posts!!!!!!!!!

Does anybody know where this is located on a 02 4.0L SOHC? I can't find it.

That's odd the guy at my parts store told me that quite a few guy's have had the same problem, That's why he told me to check it before buying anything else.

you should have this sensor and it should be located in the air intake between the maf sensor and the air filter....

* the sensor is also know as an "air charge sensor"....go to rockauto.com it is part of the emission system

It you dont have a separate sensor, its built into your MAF. There will be six wires connecting to the MAF instead of four.

Replacing a part by guessing is rediculous. If you vehicle is OBDII (95+ on rangers) all you have to do it hook up a high end code scanner that has the ability to display parameters in real-time and watch to see where your problem is. OBD I is alittle bit trickier, but is possible too.

I do hope that it helps someone else. I have learned a lot about my truck from this problem.

Thank You Jim
This and all threads should stay on topic it's about our Rangers, not the people who own them. I am new to this site but personal attacks and snide comments s have no place on a site dedicated to Rangers and solving the problems that we as owners have with them.
