What are common issues with the Ford Ranger's engine?

I've noticed some odd noises and lower performance in my Ford Ranger's engine. What could be causing these issues? Any recommendations for solving them?

It's possible that your engine is experiencing issues with the fuel injectors or spark plugs. I would recommend taking it to a trusted mechanic for a diagnostic check. They can also perform any necessary maintenance or repairs to improve your engine's performance.

Have you checked the air filter and oil levels recently? These can also affect your engine's performance. I suggest checking and replacing them if needed. Additionally, consider using a fuel additive to improve efficiency.

I had a similar issue with my Ford Ranger and it turned out to be a problem with the ignition coil. I would suggest having it checked and potentially replaced if necessary.
