I have a 3.0 V6 in a 99 Ranger with 130,000 miles. It has simptoms of an engine that is in despreate need of a timing adjustment. Only thing is, the ingnition is all electronic.

Does any one know what might be causing this terrible "pinging"? I just bought the truck 2 months ago and realy do like it, but it is starting to tick me off that it is running this way. I've got to get it fixed before I damage the valve seats....

Thanks in advance for any info anyone has. I'm not even sure what direction to go in first.......

 

you cant change the timing it doen by the computer and try a93 octane
