I have replaced the distributor, cap, rotor, plugs, wires, ignition switch, module and coil. It will start and warm up but before it goes to a low idle it will shut down and I lose my spark. Time seems to heal it and the next day I can start it again and it will run for a time and then shut down again. Have tried disconnecting the battery and waiting for the computer to re-set but doesn't seem to make a difference ANYTHING will be quite helpful

Thanks

welcome kandi
 






You probably need a pickup in the distributor.
 






Welcome to this forum! I've moved your thread into the Ranger section. Do you have a check engine light with codes? If so, don't disconnect the battery to clear the code. Find out what the code numbers are, and post them here.
