My 2002 Ford Ranger with 4.0 engine ran fine except when I put it in park or reverse. I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Eventually I began losing power and it wouldn't get up to freeway speed. The problem was a clogged catalytic converter. When the converter was replaced full power returned and it never shuts off when I put it in park or reverse. Good Luck, Abraham
