Want this question answered?
ignition timing is controlled by the electronic control module or the "brain" on distributorless engines. Reysher
Yes ANSWER No - a 1998 3.0 L Ford Ranger does not have a distributor which would allow you to adjust the ignition timing - it has a coil pack and the ignition timing is controlled by the PCM ( powertrain control module )
The Ignition and Fuel are triggered from the crankshaft. The distributor is only a cam angle sensor and spark distributor.i.e. NO TIMING ADJUSTMENT possible.m
It would not be a good idea. First it is illegal, second it can actually cause the computer to over adjust fuel and ignition timing and cause running issues.It would not be a good idea.

That requires an engine scanner to set the timing.
Ignition timing is automatically set. sorry.
you will need to have your computer reprogramed to adjust timing,fuel mixture etc
You don't. It is done electronically.
The timing on that year engine is computer controlled. It requires an engine scanner to set the timing. YOU CAN NOT USE A TIMING LIGHT.
Spark plug knock on a 1998 Chevrolet pickup is an indicator that the ignition timing is correct. By adjusting the timing, the knock can be eliminated.
Only a carburated engine will have a timing value. The multipoint fuel injection motors timing is controlled by the computer.
