Crank sensor 4.0 1993 Ford Ranger?

The 1993 Ford Ranger 4.0L engine uses a Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP), not just a "crank sensor." There's no single part number that covers all 1993 4.0L Rangers, as the exact sensor used might vary slightly based on specific model and build date.

To find the correct replacement, you must use one of these methods:

* Your Vehicle's VIN: The most accurate way is to provide your vehicle's Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to a parts store (like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, or NAPA) or an online parts retailer. They can then look up the exact CKP sensor needed for your specific truck.

* The Old Sensor: The easiest way is to take your old, failing CKP sensor to an auto parts store. They can cross-reference it and find a suitable replacement.

* Your Engine Serial Number: This number is usually stamped on the engine block itself. It's less commonly used but can sometimes help parts stores identify the correct sensor.

Important Note: While the sensor itself might look similar across years and engines, slight variations can exist that affect its performance and compatibility. Using the wrong sensor can lead to further engine problems. Always use a sensor that's specifically designed for your 1993 Ford Ranger 4.0L engine.
