Re: How To: Replace the Camshaft Sync and Sensor in a 3.0

The install went smoothly. Right after I did it the fuel pump died, and I didn't drive the truck for 2 months. So I'm not too confident in my buttdyno anymore. My real question is, if the gear is off...

Re: How To: Replace the Camshaft Sync and Sensor in a 3.0

Yeah I need to do a tune up anyway so I figured I may as well bring it to TDC and just use the tool to make sure. Do you think it could be off or would I definitely notice?

Re: How To: Replace the Camshaft Sync and Sensor in a 3.0

Is there a guide anywhere on how to do it with the tool? I already did mine but Im not sure if it went in right. I could just be worried but it seems to idle slightly differently.

Bad ground connection. Is there any blue crust on the battery terminals? Also check the other grounds. Emery cloth is your friend.

How reliable are the 4.0s compared to the 3.0s?

I want to recommend a ranger to a friend, but hauling welding material uphill in a 3.0 sounds far from fun. I found a 4.0 ranger edge plus 4wd with 102k miles - will it last long like my 3.0 - if...

Re: Rough idle/misfire

Clean the throttle body and egr valve. Both use only carb cleaner.

Re: Help me diagnose my 2001 Ford Ranger 3.0 (thinking its a headgasket issue)?

Did your waterpump blow? Did a hose fall off? This could be a cheap fix, or expensive. Check for the source of the leak.

Re: Jerky hesitation, worse with load and high temps.

Re: engine knock

Whens the last time you cleaned your egr (If you have one) and replaced the dpfe? I had a knock at idle and low rpm and doing both of these things fixed it.
