Ive been working on a 94 4.0 swap for a while now and cant get the darn thing running. Ive replaced the coil, dist cap, wires, plugs 3x, iac valve and cam position sensor. I have timed it probably 10x due to second guessing myself. Im currently thinking it may be the crank position sensor. Is there any way to test if this went bad ? It turns over and I can hear it fire but not enough to start. The plugs turn black and when i wipe that away they are white underneath the black.
I was also reading my haynes manual and it told me that the 6 cylinder distributor is a dependent type meaning that the cam position sensor cant be removed with removing the dist. The dist on the blown motor and the newer motor im installing both had distributors that could appeared to be the INdependent type as described by the manual. Basically the sensor sits under the dist cap and the 2 screws that hold the cap on hold the sensor in place. The book also referred to the color of the 3 wires coming off the dist and these colors didnt match what i have my dist plugged into. Can anyone tell me what color the 3 wires coming of their dist are ?
Thanks and sorry for the long post
