To adjust the timing on a 1999 Ford Ranger 2.5, first ensure the engine is at operating temperature and the vehicle is parked on a level surface. Disconnect the spout connector to set the timing to base. Use a timing light to check the timing mark on the crankshaft pulley against the timing indicator on the engine block. If adjustment is needed, loosen the distributor clamp bolt and rotate the distributor until the timing is set to the specified degree, then retighten the clamp and reconnect the spout connector.
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 )

There are many causes to this problem, in a 1999 Ford Ranger 3.0L. It is usually caused by a spark plug firing when its not suppose to, or late/delayed timing.
