i bought another 83 ranger with the 2.3. it needed a new timing belt. no problem, thought I. take it all apart, put a new timing belt and a new tensioner on. I get the whole mess put back together, and it started even. im sitting in th etruck , fiddling with the throttle, revving it up, letting it idle, revving it back up. all of a sudden, the throttle sticks, truck wraps up hard so i pannic response and turn the key off.
And now the truck wont start again. I think that i must have not gotten the tensioner tight enough, or the vibration made the belt skip because looking in the sight hole in the cover, its off agian. any body have any insight into this? I have to take it apart after work tomorrow again anyway
