I have a 1989 ranger 2.3 5speed 2wd, the problem I'm having is when I go to start it, it takes forever to fire and when it does it runs terrible (backfires alot dumps black smoke) but if i keep reving it up eventually runs perfect, but now it seems to just be getting worse, sometimes while i crank it over it's like the timing is to far advanced, I checked the timing marks and there good, replaced the fuel filter and put different dis module, coil packs and fuel pressure reg. I was thinking maybe crank sensor?
