Hello all,

I got myself a 97 ranger 4l v6. I have been working on it for the past two months replacing the head gaskets and other components. I'm on the home stretch on finishing this job, perhaps it will be running this weekend. But there is one female connector that I cannot find the plug to, I was hoping if you guys can help me identify it. It will give me a clue on where the male fitting is. The receptacle is located right at the Bell Housing on top of the engine and transmission, right next to the passenger cylinder head. -Thanks In advance!

Off the top of my head is it the plug for the Camshaft Synchronizer located on the center top rear of the block?

I think that's it: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=5413677&cc=1316243&pt=63665&jsn=512
 
Oh boy! I Believe you’re correct, come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve plugged that sensor in yet! Let me get back to you!
 
Avid,

You where correct. Thank you for your help. I was able to get the truck running today! She is shifting funny, time to research the next thing!
Happy to help. Nice to be able to pay forward a little of the help I've gotten here over the years. Good luck with the shifting.
