I have a 1994 Ranger 2.3 ltr. With 115,000 miles on it. The iddler pully froze up and my truck stopped running. So I replaced the pully and my truck still wont start. I have checked the timming and it is in time. I even changed the spark plugs. It still wont start. I had the ignition modul checked and it was fine. The truck is trying to start. It goes into a full crank but sometimes it back fires through the intake. Does anyone have a suggestion? HELP!

Fuel pressure test with a fuel pressure gauge hooked in at the fuel rail.

First I might be tempted to look at the cars crank and cam and make sure the timing belt is stil with us. I forgot to mention that. Also make sure that they are ligned up with eachother.

The timing belt is still on the marks all match up. I even had the coil checked yesterday and it was good. Any other thoughts?

May have jumped time. Align the marks and then get the #1 piston to line up TDC put your finger over it and lightly turn the crank untill you feel a rush of air. Look at the distributor and see if the rotor is ligned up wit the #1spark plug. If not it jumped time.

Blackop555 : we have found what we think is the problem and that is the magnet on the crankshaft position sensor was broke off ! What do you think? Think that could be the problem?
