Popping noise when accelerating

[MattJlane904]

There is a relatively loud popping noise coming from the passenger side of my 97 Ford Ranger when I accelerate. Mostly happens at speeds over 45mph but happens under that speed as well. It has also made the truck run rather rough. (I.E. Causing it to shake and rumble). Any information helps as this is my daily driver and I need it to get me to work. I am also not a vehicle guy but we’ll try my best to do anything to help diagnose the issue. Thanks in advance!

If you dont have a scanner/code reader, buy one, or go to an auto parts store and have them read any current or stored codes that may be in the computer, usually, major auto parts store chains offer a "code read" at no charge to customers. If you can buy yourself a scanner like Actron CP9575 (just an example) you would be way ahead, especially one that is capable of reading live engine data from the engine sensors as the engine is running.
