I'm in the middle of changing the cam position sensor and timing belt on a 97 ranger 2wd 5sp I just picked up. This is my first time doing anything like this. It barely ran and threw a code for cam position sensor. It was still drivable enough to get from the back yard to the driveway. I got everything pulled off including the front cover and when I try to line everything up at tdc ( crank key way at 12 o'clock, diamond to diamond and triangle to triangle) either the cam or oil pump is 180° out. If the diamond for the oil pump lines up then the cam is out and vise versa. What do I need to do to fix it? Set the cam right and spin the oil pump 180° after I remove the belt? Any help will be greatly appreciated, I need this truck running asap.
