2007 Ranger check engine light on acceleration

Hi All,

I have a 2007 Ranger, 3L V6. Twice when I've been accelerating uphill, the check engine light has come on, I've lost some power, and then all seems to return to normal after I back my foot off the gas. No backfiring or smoke, a little engine stumbling when the light comes on but everything seems to come back to normal and the light goes out once I back off on the acceleration.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thx.

Run it by advance or autozone to get codes read for free . Can then post codes retrieved for ideas on what the issue is. Need the codes to help steer toward proper solution.

My first guess would be checking the air filter, then going to autozone to have them check the codes on it.
