Hello all,
new to the forums here. I’m having an issue with my ‘86 Ranger, which has the 2.9L. I have recently changed the ignition module on the side of the distributor, and reset the timing. After resetting the timing the truck sounded great! No misses or anything. Took it on a test drive to be sure and I let the engine wake up to normal running temperatures. However, when I park the truck, shut it off, and let it rest for a few minutes and I go to turn it back on it sounds terrible and I check the timing again when the spout connector is disconnected and it’s NOWHERE where it should be. If I let the truck rest overnight and go back out in the morning it does the same thing, totally fine until I shut it off and let it rest. Any ideas? Thanks.
