Check the exhaust is not blocked if you hear a hissing sound out back that could be the problem,you can loosen it off at manifold its a good test,possibly a blocked convertor.

check airflow control valve,changed cat ?? quickest test for that is slacken exhaust manifold ,noisy but ??any blockage in exhaust system will show straight away.other problems could be fuel filter ,low fuel pressure crank sensor weak signal,i think you might find its cheaper to let dealer have look than change parts willy nilly .evan had a car doing this that some jealous neighbour had shoved a potatoe up the exhaust hence now the drop manifold down pipe part

SOURCE: ENGINE MISSING ABOVE 3800 RPM

no the code is most likely from a dpfe sensor for you egr system not the egr valve itself.a clogged fuel filter though might cause your low revs

There is a rev limiter in these cars that disallows over revving in park or neutral. Does it climb past 2700 under hard acceleration?

SOURCE: My 2002 Ford Ranger Edge V-6 is misfiring.

havent a clue here ,one cylinder now another missing ,only one thing comes to mind here and thats the coil pack ,check the voltage across the battery with engine running at 1500rpm and if its higher than 15.5 volts of their abouts then the alternator regulator is playing up and this would cause problems with the coil pack or the ECU ,also the radio could blow and lots of bulbs.Other that this i would need to get my greasy hands on it and give the magic hammer treatment

Engine will not rev above 3000 rpm

Inadequate fuel pressure, change the fuel filter first, make sure the car sits for at least two hours before replacing the fuel filter because these fuel lines are under high pressure during the time of operation. The pressure usually decreases over time in the lines but wear safety glasses just the same, I would recomend depressurizing the fuel system first, buy a Haynes repair manual for detailed procedure to be safe. If problem persists go to Auto Zone and ask them to check for trouble codes these codes if present may instuct you in detail to replace the MAF sensor or give you a code that must be looked up to find the problem.
