No power from a start

No power from a start
So my 06 Ranger has no power when I begin to accelerate in first or 2nd gear however the tachometer reads that the RPMs are up in the 2, 3 and 4000 range as they should be but I'm getting no power at the same time. Then something kicks in and I can accelerate again normally and it drives fine. The problem is not in the motor then I guess right?

What engine do you have in the 2006 Ranger?
I assume automatic transmission
The 2.3l Durtec engine did have a known issue with the IMRC(Intake Manifold Runner Control) system
This could show as lower power than previously, and get better as RPMs increased
IMRC is like a mini turbo, increases air pressure at lower rpms which gives increased power, if you lose that then you have less power.
It is often a simple fix, actuator arm has come off or vacuum hose/fitting is leaking
3.0l or 4.0l won't have IMRC
