94 4.0 have to start with starting fluid?
 

Ok went from a blazer fan to ranger fan love the old ones. Here is my problem bought on the cheap 94 manual 5 speed 4.0 have to start with starting fluid. After that will start on its own up to 6hrs, loss of power in 4th and 5th gear. Seen some bubbling coming out of driverside manifold, nothing in oil and only white smoke after starting fluid. Checked fuel pump everything over 35psi. Please give me some pointers or am I screwed?
