No power 94 ranger, 2.3 mfi by fredpettit

The truck ran fine then one day it felt like a fouled plug. I changed the plugs,wires,coil packs. Checked the TPS,coolant temp senser,replaced fuel filter twice. It will run like it is missing but it is'nt miss firing. It is getting rotten fuel mileage and is under powered. Sometimes it pings other times it does'nt. The check engine light comes on rarely,but it does come on every once in a while. Also it sometimes smells like it is running rich.It allways starts right up and will run forever just no power,hills are a real bummer.

Might Be Your Timming or Your ECU.

Ok I drive 4 miles and my check engine light comes on when I get home I leave it running and put the decoder on it and when I hook it up the decoder light comes on, when I flip the test switch on it blinks 3 times then my check engine light goes out. I have decoded it for three days in a row and the same thing happens. Any ideas would be appreciated!

You probably have a cheep code reader. I use a Snap on scanner myself. Try this;
Turn engine off. plug in your code reader. Turn key to run position engine still off. (accessory position) Then test. OBD1 on that year ford sometimes my scanner tells me to then again turn key off, then back on to accessory in order to scan it.

Pull off the wiring harness that goes to the firewall and clean the connections
 
, and clean up ground connections that go to the body.
 
I also pull out the relays and sprayed some electrical cleaner into the connectors.
 
Probably a bad ground, loose connection.
