Hey just a really quick question. If the timing was off after replacing the crankshaft synchronizer would the idle be even and the tach smooth?

 

???

Assuming 1995 to 2008 3.0l Vulcan engine, there is a Crank sensor on the lower front of the engine next to crank pulley, it sets engine's base spark and injector timing, and tach/RPM signal
Then at the top rear of the engine is the Cam sensor, it sits on an old distributor tower, synchronizer, and is used to fine tune sequential fuel injection and spark advance

Depending on the year of the 3.0l computer the Cam sensor can have an effect on idle and higher RPMs, but shouldn't effect tach/RPM signals

The Crank sensor and Cam sensor are compared by the computer, Crank sensor is always assumed as correct, if Cam sensor doesn't match crank sensor then computer will set a code for that

 

So as long as it's not throwing any codes and idling fine then it's all good? My first time replacing the synchronizer and even taking pictures and following all the YouTube videos I second guess myself lol

 

Sorry it's a 2006 2wd Ranger 3.0
