2.3 NO power
95 2.3l ranger 5 speed. Not sure what the probelm im having is when i seem to start a climb up any hill what so ever i cant go any faster than really 40 mph, it is worse the steeper the hill. sometimes when i change gears and press the gas pedal i hear what appears to be a poping sound and the truck will not accelerate. New airfilter and fuel filter, plugs and wires other than that i belive everything is stock. The check engine light is on but i havent had the time to get any codes pulled yet. Any suggestions would be helpful thanks 213k miles

well it sound like its back firing so if its not a loud pop then its back firing into the intake manifold thats caused by burning too lean, could be a misfire, but i dont' know much about misfiring i would invest 32 dollars at advance ato for and obd 1 scanner and see what the codes come up

i dont know how big of hills your trying to climb but that year i think you have 80-110 hp if its just a hill on the road and its doing that i would say your timing is off maybe you have missing teeth timing belt and the cam retarded changing your power band or your ignition timing is off
