Engine Problems 98 ranger
This is the second ranger I have owned but the first out of all the trucks i ever owned to do this. It seems like the engine is shuddering and having lose of power. It will happen going down the road but I can let off the gas and push back down and it will go away momentarily. Also when I start it, it will run good for about 5 mins and then start shaking like it is having a seizure and vibrates the whole truck. Im a decent mechanic but this one has got me for a lose. I need some advice????

Its a 3.0l v6, Its shooting codes but i dont have a code reader and it has so many electrical problems its crazy, thats what is mainly throwing me for a loop. some half asser before me tried to change the heater core and dropped the dash and messed everything up. now the gas or temp gauges do not work, i have no night lights on the tail lights and of course the engine shudder.
