I have a 1994 Ford Ranger, 4 cyl that loses power in 4th and 5th gear. Starts jerking motion. Then loses power and will die out. Help please.

EEC-IV codes, I believe, on your model. Reading thru a Haynes or doing a search on "EEC-IV codes" should give you enough info to get started.

Very easy ... once you've done it the first time.

Where can I find the EEC-IV codes at?

Read the following as a starter:

http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBr...3d800e2f3a.jsp
.
Don't stop there ... read all the pages nearby on the AutoZone site concerning codes. And then read a Haynes repair manual. Then Google up some more info on EEC-IV.

The bottom line is: If your car has a "check engine" (MIL) light ... it can be used to read the codes. If your car does not have the light ... you can use a voltmeter ... but I bet you have the light ... just look for it when the key is first turned on.

The code comes out in flashes on the MIL lamp after you put the jumper in the right place under the hood (don't ask! ... read!) and turn the key on. You count the flashes and then look up the code meaning.
