You have an EEC-V computer. Sure, there are tools for it, but you have to know what you're doing and they aren't cheap. The Tweecer isn't too bad in price but I don't think they support the Ranger --- the market isn't very big because there just aren't many people willing to shell out the dough for a programming set up for a 2.3L. Do a web search for "Tweecer." Be forewarned that you can easily trash your engine if you don't know what you're doing --- it requires that you manipulate the tables yourself and they leave it up to you to know what to change.
