Want this question answered?
is there a recall on the timing belt on a 1999 ford ranger?
if it has a distributor you can.
The timing is controlled by the powertrain control module - not adjustable
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 )
