1996 ford ranger 2.3 manual. Purchased truck after guy couldn't get it running after rebuild. I have timed it half a dozen times (crank TDC on compression stroke, cam triangle mark to triangle mark and oil pump diamond to diamond). Vehicle will crank and try to start when cold but run veryrough, missing, and die. Will start and run when cold but miss and die when given throttle. New plugs, wires, fuel pressure 35-40 running, 35 ignition on. Can and crank sensor good and getting signal back to ecm. Mad, egr, coils, tps, O2 sensors, and injectors all good, but seems to be flooding when I pull the plugs and check almost like it is still out of time. Runs better when oil pump is timed to triangle mark but still Biggs and dies. Almost like timing for spark and fuel are still off...........ecm maybe?
