Camshaft Position (Cmp) Sensor - Ford Ranger Maintaince And Repair Manual

1. Rotate the distributor shaft so the rotor points toward the mark on the distributor housing
made previously.
2. Rotate the rotor slightly so the leading edge of the vane is centered in the vane switch state
assembly.
3. Rotate the distributor in the block to align the leading edge of the vane with the vane switch
stator assembly. Make certain the rotor is pointing to the No. 1 mark on the distributor base.
If the vane and vane switch stator cannot be aligned by rotating the distributor in the cylinder block,
remove the distributor enough to just disengage the distributor gear from the camshaft gear. Rotate the
rotor enough to engage the distributor gear on another tooth of the camshaft gear. Repeat Step 9 if
necessary.
10. Install the distributor hold−down clamp and bolt(s); tighten them slightly.
11. Attach the vehicle wiring harness connector to the distributor.
12. Install the cap and wires. Install the No. 1 spark plug, if removed.
13. Recheck the initial timing.
14. Tighten the hold−down clamp and recheck the timing. Adjust if necessary.
