I've got a 98 A/T 2WD Ranger with a bad engine. I've located a salvage engine (same vin code) from a 99 M/T Ranger. 1.) I'm assuming the only difference will be the flywheel - will the A/T flex plate bolt right up with no issues? 2.) More general question - can the engine be pulled w/o opening...

Re-installed the Sync and Cam Sensor - no improvement. So I disconnected the battery to reset the computer. Problem solved! Not sure what PO'd the PCM but it's gone now. On to the rear main seal:)

that's exactly what I'm trying to rule out. If the base ignition timing is 10*BTDC and the timing light indicates ignition timing at 10*BTDC at idle (which it does while the engine is still cold) then the balancer hasn't shifted and the TDC mark is an accurate reference point. If #1 is at...

Yup. Used the OTC tool. Installed sync at TDC (0 indicated on the balancer). I was trying to confirm that the indicated TDC is correct and it sounds like it is as at cold start the ignition timing is steady at 10*BTDC which I think is exactly where it's supposed to be. Thus the marks on the...

That helps but it also means that my Haynes manual doesn't. Is there a base timing setting for the 2000 - EEC-V right? Should the timing at idle (warm) be 20*BTDC? Given the only change was the cam sync and position sensor, I've got think that's where the rough idle is coming from.

I'm trying to establish that the base ignition timing on my 2000 5.0 is 10*BTDC. I can not locate a SPOUT connector - does the 2000 model have one? If so, where in the hell did they hide it? Currently the timing light indicates it's at 10*BTDC on cold start and it idles normally. Once it...

I've been looking around for 2 days now and can't seem to find anything on the web - did find this site though. I've got a 93 XLT with 215K on it and am looking to replace it. What I'd like to find is a resource that lists out by model year what was standard and optional for each trim level...
