Not surprising since Ford has focused most of its efforts toward the homosexual agenda........Isn't KY jelly an alternative fuel??

I have a 2004 Ford Ranger P/U I have had it in the shop 4 times because when the engine turns above 3500 rpm the truck misses and cuts out. So far nobody has been able to fix it.

That sux gray....What do you drive now?
My dad had the same problem w/ a 2001 & finally traded it for a 2002 F150.
I have only ever driven a ford. I haven't had manufacture issues other than recalls & they were taken care of by the dealer. I miss the 90's models of the T-Bird.

Did they hook up a guage to the schrader port, on the fuel line, to check the fuel pressure? A electronic problem usually kicks a code in the memory, but fuel problems don't.

Honestly, I don't know what they have done. When I get it back, it works for about a month, then starts doing it again.
I have a feeling it has to do with fuel to air because if I take it slow, I can exceed 3500 rpm, it's only when the passing gear kicks in that it cuts out. But If I am in park and rev the engine it does it at 3500 rpm.
I'm putting it back in the shop when I get some free time, Dizz, I'll mention the fuel pressure issue. Thanks

PROBABLY the fuel pump is getting weak, or the fuel pressure regulator, is not working correctly. Shouldn't be the injectors. They either work, or they don't.
When the tank gets 1/4, or lower, can you hear a whine noise from the tank area? That is a fuel pump going bad. If they do replace the pump make sure they also do the filter at the same time.
On a Ranger there is like 6 bolts holding the bed on. It is easier to remove these bolts, jack up the bed 16-20 inches, then gain access to the pump. Only other way is to drop the tank. Pain in the ass, and you loose most of your gas when they do it. Good luck.
