Was doing a full engine rebuild of 95 3.0L Ranger and during a flip of the engine the camshaft position sensor fell off.
Of course I noticed it a little too late and was installing pistons so the crank had turned.
I didn't have the tool but thought if I put the #1 at TDC then made sure the spinning vain was pointing at #1 then it would all work out (treating it like an old school distributor).
Got truck rebuilt and put back together and it cranked but wont idle, needs a lot of gas to run on out decent, and my first thought is that I am out of time bc of that camshaft position sensor.
Is there a way to do it without the tool, no marks to go by, just get on TDC #1 and position it how??? Anyone got a pic of what it looks like when on TDC?
