got 2001 ford ranger wont start found crankshaft pulley bolt loose , there is no key on shaft and engine postion sensor gets input of pulley . the pully has hole in it has threaded hole in cover . so do you install hole in line with peg and then put engine at tds compression to time?[/quote:848f9a68c7]


get the key and istall it or it will become loose again

Your ranger will automatically time itself

there is no key there isnt a grove in shaft for one. the engige postion sensor is timed of that pulley and it wont time itself

that pulley has to go and fit one way only
or engine will not start if it loose and turn on its own inspect the pulley and the shaft
are you doing timing belt also ?

it has gears not belt they are good. the pulley has hole and pin hole in shaft to line it up . but need to know where to move enige to ie pistons

this is 2001 2.3 16 valve there isnt timing belt the cam is chain driven . the pully is loose on shaft until you tighten the bolt so it must be tmed . if you bolt pulley on it will go on all 360 degresss so how do you time crankshaft pulley to engine
