How do I go about sitting the timimg on a 94 ford ranger lt pickup

Does it have an alarm and immobilizer? If so, it needs resetting.

Could have been a stuck thermostat or a faulty water pump.
You may now have a leaking head gasket.

Because you can't do that. Two totally different computers. Either go to the 94 and pull all the wiring and computer. Or replace the engine with a 96 to 99 2.5 engine.

if it cranks over-it may be an ignition system fault/ if you turn the key and nothing happens at all with a good battery-it may be a bad starter motor-the starter motor has a very small wire connection not like the big fat starter motor battery connection-it is small and comes from the ignition switch - just apply 12 volts from the battery to that connector terminal and the motor will crank-key off it will not start-turn key to ignition on- it will start, so be in park and block the wheels and do not make a mistake

put no 1 cyl in the TDC position
Check distributor to make sure the rotar is pointing towards the no 1 plug wire,
crank over motor and turn distrubutor till it hits a spot where the ingine fires,
hook up a timing light according to instructions for that engine and time the engine

if its turning over and youve got fire and fuelyouve probly got the timimg off its an ovehead cam right? check your timing marks and plug wires

starter is what your problem is replacing this will fix your problem
