Truck won't run right

Truck won't run right When I bought the truck I had no knowledge of it not being able to go over 45. It's a 5 speed manual, but when I can finally get it to 55/60 mph, 5th gear is no option as I loose speed. I have no catalytic converter on it anymore. Previous owner had stated that there was 4 codes that it had thrown. I have gone to parts store and asked them for info on the codes and the top reasons for the codes. I have replaced the fuel filter, IAC valve, throttle body, evap purge flow sensor, plugs and wires, both coils, throttle position sensor, camshaft sensor, plenum gasket, throttle body gasket, throttle body gasket for the air bypass valve and I've times it again. After all of that, I still can't get it to stay running and starting it is a pain as it acts like it don't wanna start (it will turn and turn and act like it's going to start bit then it goes back to turning and turning again). What is wrong with my 1997 Ranger XL 2.3L?

"Since you say the floorboard is getting really hot and you are down on power (which isn’t a whole lot to begin with), it sounds like you have some sort of blockage or restriction in your exhaust system.

I have found the following website to be chock full of useful information: https://www.therangerstation.com

Hope this helps…"
