Hi:
I'm trying to get back to life my dear 1999 Ford Ranger XLT V6 3.0, the original motor died at 318,000 miles. I managed to install a rebuild motor and transmission, All fluids are in but seems something is wrong, the motor turns but doesn't start, what are the steps you recommend I follow, Installing the Cam Sync started all this mess, I was never able to make the new motor run. Any help would be really appreciated
Thanks

My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Might be a good time for the 50-50 test. Squirt some fuel or starting fluid in the intake and see if it will fire on that. If it does = fuel problem. If not = no spark, troubleshoot ignition and timing.
