2.3 L engine in a 1998 Ranger???? The 2.5 L cam belt should be changed at 120,000 miles.
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 )
could cause internal damage to valves and or pistons !
1998 model year corolla has a timing chain and does not need to be changed unless it is making noise or is broken
