94 Ranger 3.0 won't start

[mbolena]

I have a 94 ranger that will not start. My wife was sitting in the truck at work and it just quit! I have replaced the wires, rotor, cap. ignition module and coil pack, still nothing. A guy was looking at it yesterday and said that the green dusty residue under the old cap tells him that the CPS is bad. I thought that sensor was behind the crankshaft pulley. He pointed out a sensor that leads from the back of the distributor reasoning that the pulse wasn't making it to the module and that's why I have no spark or fuel and that I need to pull the distributor to get it out. I'm not so sure. An idea's out there? Thanks.....

Are you not getting a spark? I've had the exact same truck with the exact same problem, and I tried those exact things. As it turns out, the distributor shaft was worn and the whole distributor needed to be replaced. Pull the whole distributor assembly out and inspect it for wear, and try turning the shaft. If it turns wobbly or unsmoothly, replace that ****.

Did you ever get it to run? I have similar problems, I have been told it was the ect sensor which I would like to see and possibly replace but I don't know where it is.
