So start with the checking for faulty hoses or bad gaskets on the throttle body and intake manifold. Would be hard to just look at a gasket and see if it is leaking though unless you have a smoke device to check for leaks. Then clean your MAF sensor. Still need to get your cats replaced if they are bad. Sounds like you would rather trust a stranger "mechanic" than get some good info off the site from people who work on rangers all the time and are probably more knowledgeable than most dealers. Did you have symptoms before the cats went bad other than what you previously stated?
