I have a 96 Ranger with ~150k miles. I know that one of the cyclinders is losing pressure, but I don't think that really explains the sound. When I am moving over 30 mph and give it more than half throttle in any gear(has the Mazda 5 speed), it starts making a sound like a turbo spinning up. I know for a fact that there isn't a turbo in it, and I'm sure it isn't the gearbox or clutch. When I am moving slowly or stopped, the sound disappears. Any ideas?
