Losing power at higher speeds, 3rd, 4th and fifth gear
My 89 2.3 liter 5 speed Ranger is losing power in fourth and fifth gear sometimes third at the top end, then it goes into the lower gears. I replaced the fuel sending unit. It feels like the motor is starving for fuel at higher speeds. From a stop it runs fine up through the gears. Then, same problem. It also shutters, shakes and the motor gets loud while this is happening. I'm friggen stumped
