Hi, 03 Ford ranger PU 3.0 6 cil ac 86K

now its running to a point that feels that will cut off any time.
any ideas?

Your friend may have saved you future issues, just didn't fix this one. At that mileage you were due for plugs. Get the codes pulled and post the code numbers here. We need the exact numbers, for example P0300 random cyl misfire. Generic descriptions don't help. With the numbers we can narrow it down. Some parts stores offer this service for free.

It's never a bad idea to replace spark plugs. The problem comes when it isn't done right or needs a lot more than the plugs.

You really shouldn't drive it any more until you figure out why it is missing. If the light is flashing and you have either a mechanical problem with the engine or an ignition problem, you'll end up cooking the catalytic converter.
