Hi all! I recently purchased a 1990 Ford Ranger from my brother in law, and the history on the vehicle he said all he knew was that the seller said it had no spark, but he said he found it oddly had 2 crank position sensors but never had the time to look into it. After the last few days of struggling, it appears I have a later version 2.3L Lima instead of early like I thought. Obviously does not start, only cranks, and the wiring is an absolute nightmare. Apparently 3 freeze plugs on passenger side == early Lima, 2 freeze plugs == late. As far as I know so far I'm going to have to replace the wiring harness + ECU to match. Does anyone have any insight onto what I need to do, should do, or things to look out for?
My thoughts of what I have to do: Find a matching harness + ECU for a '95 - '97 Lima w/ Manual trans and replace it, and it should be good to go if the motor is good.
