What is the simplest way to determine the usb is not causing a problem?

I would remove the usb device and see if the problem goes away, if it doesn't you will need to open the computer. Once inside, you will see a serial wire coming from the suspected usb port to the motherboard, go to the motherboard and disconnect this jack. Hopefully your problem will go away, there may be a short in the port itself causing too much electrical current in the motherboard.

When 94 Ranger 2.3 check engine light comes on and goes off when on highway What is causing this?

To answer specifically what is wrong with your vehicle will be impossible without more information. The check engine light comes on when the PCM(computer) sees a problem somewhere in the engine or transmission control system. A sensor may have failed, a solenoid or actuator may have failed, a wiring problem may have developed, or there could even be a problem with the PCM itself. You will have to have a diagnostic run on the vehicle.
