By the way, it's a 2.5 Liter engine, the system saved it as a 25L for whatever reason.
is there a recall on the timing belt on a 1999 ford ranger?
Where is the camshaft position sensor located on a 1999 ford ranger 4.0 liter engine
A camshaft position sensor reads the location of the camshaft and sends that information the engine computer. This is needed for fuel and ignition timing.
There is no "camshaft position sensor" in the 1999 ranger 2.5l motor so they have to have a crank position sensor. what kind of problems are you having? i might be able to help. you can email me at cmjbrodman@gmail.com. I have a 99 2.5 with a P340 code "camshaft positioning sensor circuit malfunction" Supposidly, it is behind the aux pulley.

On a 1999 Ford Ranger , 2.5 litre four cylinder engine : The 1999 Ford Ranger Scheduled Maintenance Guide shows to inspect the timing belt at ( 120,000 miles ) The Gates website ( they make timing belts etcetera ) shows inspect timing belt at ( 120,000 miles , replace if necessary )
According to Gates ( they manufacture timing belts etc ) the 2.5 liter engine used in a 1999 Ford Ranger is NOT an interference engine
belt
The mark on the camshaft should be aligned with the mark on the crankshaft.
A previous answer said that in 98 the V6s went to timing chains.
Inspect at 120,000 miles , replace if needed ( Ford maintenance and the Gates website ) for the 2.5 liter , 4 cylinder , in a 1999 Ford Ranger
, the camshaft sensor for this particular application is located on the timing cover behind the water pump near the camshaft sprocket, it is inserted straight into the block with one mounting bolt retaining it. hope this helps
