My 97 4.0 Ranger had this problem (for a few years). I finally decided to change the plugs & wires. EGR was in two pieces (rust) so I decided to take it to a shop. I has around 100k miles. After this work was done, it still ran rough. The Mech, said the upper intake manifold gasket was leaking. He was able to verify it by spraying around the suspected area. The spray sucked into the gasket area and the engine ran fine for a few seconds.
I had the gasket replaced and the truck runs like new.
