You may remember my thread about the head with a water passage for the intake...

I went back to the Ranger to check something and found out that it's a 1993. I can't get the timing down on this thing at all. I had it running, but with low power, by timing it by the cam lobes. It must have jumped timing because it died on me in the parking lot of O'Reilly and never started back. I've tried the 1993 timing mark position and everything around it, rotating the crank 360°, and trying the timing at all different positions. I was finally able to get it running in the vicinity of the timing mark of the 1993 position, but it was backfiring through the intake and exhaust very badly... which told me that I was close. I tried moving it a few teeth each way and nothing, just cranking over. A guy at work seems to think it could be the cam sensor. Would I have needed to get the sensor from the old Ranger? I wouldn't think so since it's just reading the crank... correct? I'm going to check out the sensor itself tomorrow because the mosquitoes are too bad outside right now.
 
Update....found the cylinders are flooding. pulled all exhaust side plugs and they were wet with fuel. After a few cranks, you can also smell fuel under the hood. I ran the WOT test to clear flooding and can get it to fire up, but still sputtering and popping all over the place.
