How do I replace the fan belt on a 1993 Ford Ranger?

I've never done one on a Ranger, but most timing gears have alignment marks that you line up before you install the belt. Don't forget to replace the belt tensioner while you're at it.

Sounds like this may be the electronic ignition module. Have it checked.

There may be a tool, or you jam a metal tool between two metal parts.

My sincere apologies for the delayed response.
I am personally going back to answer your unanswered questions.
I have only been a free contributor to this site for the past 4-months.

I do not know if you still need this information, but I am going ahead and answering it anyway.

CLICK on the following LINK. It has several Belt Diagrams, one which will match your specific engine and options (AC/No AC, Power Steering, .etc) that you will need.

Let me know if this helped...
Again my apologies..

This is a difficult problem for an English-speaking person (me) - but I will guess at what you are saying is wrong with your Ranger......

You have a loose fan belt.
I believe that the belt is Surpentine - and, therefor has a belt tensioner. A loose belt normally exists if the tensioner spring is weak. Other possibility is that the belt has stretched beyond the ability of the tensioner to keep it tight.

Either replace the belt (about 30 dollars, US) or replace the tensioner. (Your 2002 probably has enough miles on it to justify replacing the belt anyway!!)

No it is not an interference motor.

You do not have to remove the actual sprocket to install the timing belt only the balancer/lower pulley. Just push the tensioner all the way to the pass. side and install your belt, and release the tensioner.
