Do a compression test. I'm not sure but the engine may not be a non-interferance engine which means it may have bent valves or more damage.
As far as I know they can not be cleaned. Must be replaced.
Check to be sure it isn't the water pump.
Run a compression test. If only one cylinder has low compression, it's probably a damaged valve or pushrod. If the compression is low in all cylinders the cam is probably not timed correctly.
Reset the fuel shut off switch.
The vehicle has a timing chain that keeps the camshaft spinning correctly relative to the crankshaft. It also has a serpentine belt (what used to be known as fan belts) that operates the AC compressor, alternator, air pump, and water pump. Some people still call serpentine belts a timing belt even though it has no effect on engine timing. Many 4 cylinder engines use a timing belt in place of a chain. I think this is where the confusion starts.
I usually reccommend about every 90,000 miles.
where to set timing for a 1988 ford ranger 2.2l
What is the timing for a 1998 ford ranger 2.5l
It needs replacing every 60,000 miles.
Only the 4 cylinders have a belt. The belt should be replaced at 60,000 miles.
is there a recall on the timing belt on a 1999 ford ranger?

Timing chains are not a scheduled maintenance replacement unlike a timing belt. Timing chains usually don't need to be replaced unless there is a problem with the engine itself. Timing chains will last as long as the engine. This is from personal experience.
NO. It has a Timing Chain.
Yes , the 3.0 liter V6 in a Ford Ranger has a timing CHAIN
They are on the inner timing belt cover.
