Problem starting

[alperin]

Have starting problem that I am having trouble diagnosing. Truck is '01 ranger with the 2.5l and 5spd manual. The truck cranks great, has spark, fuel, and compression in all cylinders. When you open the throttle fully it sounds like it's about to catch every couple cranks but never does.

I'm leaning towards a crank or cam position sensor. Can anyone tell me where these two sensors are located and what resistance I should look for across the terminals to make sure they're working properly? Or let me know if you have any other ideas for this no-start problem.

Thanks

have you just gotten done workin on something? my first guess would be timing. i see timing go out a good bit on all trucks that get worked on a lot.
