1995 3.0 L Ford Ranger runs great when it's cold
once it gets warm the RPMs drop down to 200 or
300 throttle will not respond and eventually it dies.
Parts iv changed: Mass air flow sensor, throttle
position sensor, camshaft position sensor,
crankshaft position sensor, EGR valve, coil pack,
wires, spark plugs, I'm stumped. Need help

Check your throttle and try to rev when cold it sounds stupid but if it responds when it's cold then idk. If it doesn't respond when cold then check your pedals and see if it's pushing all the way.

Looking back you could have bought a fuel pressure gauge instead of parts , thats the one thing I would have checked is the fuel pressure , look for loose broken vacuum lines , spray some carb cleaner down the throttle
Dont mind buying the parts i like my vehicle to run... I'm going to change the fuel pump and filter tomorrow
All vacuum lines are new. even change the fuel control valve. It ran up until yesterday before yesterday was just shutting off every once in awhile that's why I had been replacing parts for the last few months trying to find which one it is
It started a few months ago. I noticed that when you started it the RPMs were getting higher and higher as time went on and it takes 20 30 40 seconds for it to idle down. Then it started idling down real low and shutting off it only does it when it's hot runs like there's nothing wrong with it when it's cold.

are the injector(s) good ? the computer may be trying to run things normal under bad conditions , see if you can pull any codes , not sure how , may be a junction in the motor bay to jump wire 2 terminals and count flashes on the dash , may be the computer is bad ? ?
