1986 Ford Ranger 2.9L Manual. I have replaced near everything on the truck. It was running then would stall when hot. Replaced the HP fuel pump and now it runs and idles but is rough and stumbles when you press the gas. Tried to drive it and got a few hundred feet and it stalls. It was hard to get it started back up but did start and run enough to get it back in the shop. Feels like the timing is off still. I set the distributor to 11 o'clock (facing the passenger seat) with the crank on the compression stroke (put my finger in the #1 plug hole till it blew it out) lined up with the TC mark on the crank. There was a code for the TPS, changed it back out and now I have no codes. Tried to do a KOIO test and it stalls out. Any help is appreciated as I think it is still a timing issue. Maybe a Bad timing chain that jumped a tooth? I haven't opened it up yet to see what y'all think before I go in deep. Also has good compression and fuel pressure now that I changed the fuel pump out.
New parts:
Distributor, cap, rotor, plugs, wires, Ignition coil, Ignition switch, Ignition key switch, ECM, Starter module, all 3 relays, Intake air control valve, TPS, Intake air sensor, Temp Sensor, Temp Gauge Sensor, Alternator, Battery, Battery cables and ground cables, Both Fuel Pumps, Cleaned the fuel tank, EGR Valve, EGR Sensor, Map sensor, and more. Only parts I have not Changed are the Fuel Pressure regulator, Injectors and heard there is a Knock sensor, if so I have not changed that.
