I am continuing slowly on putting a Taurus engine into my little Ranger. To date, I have
1. Replaced the head gasket
2. Replaced the water pump
3. Replaced the oil pump & gasket
4. Hooked it back up to the transmission & put it back in the truck
5. Hooked the transmission back up to the drive shaft
6. Put on the exhaust manifolds, y-pipes, etc.
7. Put on the generator
8. Put on the power-steering pump
9. Just picked up a couple fuel injectors to replace a couple that did not look to good, meaning I can put the injectors back on along with the upper intake manifold.
10. Have plugged in a fair amount of the sensors
This leads me to my question - Is there anything I need to do to make sure the spark plugs, fuel injectors, etc. are in sync with the rotation of the engine? Does the computer just figure it out from the crankshaft or some other sensor, or is there something I need to as in the "old days"?
