Hi guys, I have a weird problem I'm trying to track down.
my 2001 Ranger Edge 3.0L Vulcan (Manual Trans) is having trouble going over 3500 rpm in ANY gear, seems to happen at exactly 3500 rpm in every single gear, will accel fine up to that engine speed, but then it bucks like crazy and loses all power. Seems to happen after it warms up, doesnt act up at all when it's cold. I replaced my Coil pack and that seemed to help the engine a bit, but no change in the bucking/shuddering. I get NO codes which is driving me up the wall. Rev limiter, vacuum/EVAP? what do you guys think.
Any ideas? anyone heard of this shit happening at an exact engine speed??
I'm starting to suspect catalytic converter or fuel issue.
