run the fault codes
it may be a broken cam shaft , cam/crank position sensors or immobiliser not operational
don't touch the wiring until you have the fault codes.

most definitely
there has to be set pulses for the position sensor to work
normally both the crank position sensor and the cam shaft position sensor work together and send signals to the ECM and if one signal is not in sync with the other , the ecm thinks something is wrong and shuts down the engine.

Ford did not put a 2.5 in a Ranger, maybe a 2.3 ?
2.3 =
3.0 - The CMP sensor& synchronizer/shaft are located behind the intake manifold (i.e., back near the firewall on a Ranger) on the top of the cylinder block. If you just need to replace the sensor, it is a simple job of unplugging the electrical connector and removing the screws holding the sensor in place. Here is a sketch of the sensor to give you an idea what to look for:

For the 1997 Ford Ranger: Unspecified Engine Size:

It shows the Timing Marks for the Camshaft Sprocket and Oil Pump Sprocket.
The other Timing Marks should be on the Inner Cover. If NO Mark can be found: NOTE the Shaft Key Position in relation to where the Marks should be.

the cam sensor is located in the topside of the engine, behind the manifold, near the firewall. it is held in by two mounting bolts. just remove the wire connector and the two mounting bolts. you can then remove the cam sensor. slightly lube the oring on the new cam sensor and reinstall. tighten two mounting bolts and reconnect the wire connector

Need to check your cam shaft position sensor. I just went through the same problem and had mine replaced and the truck starts no problem..

there is a tool to line up the sensor while at top dead center on #1 cylinder you put it on top of the syncronizer fords name for the oil pump drive & interupter. good luck from schleck.

sorry not a tranny guy
