A wrench was accidentally left on crankshaft pulley and now the truck won’t start. Could it be its out of timing? It’s on 2008 ford ranger with a 2.3L engine. Doesn’t look like any wires were pulled either

Taken from alldata:
NOTICE: Do not loosen or remove the crankshaft pulley bolt without first installing the special tools as instructed in this procedure. The crankshaft pulley and the crankshaft timing sprocket are not keyed to the crankshaft. The crankshaft, the crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted together by friction, using diamond washers between the flange faces on each part. For that reason, the crankshaft sprocket is also unfastened if the pulley bolt is loosened. Before any repair requiring loosening or removal of the crankshaft pulley bolt, the crankshaft and camshafts must be locked in place by the special tools, otherwise severe engine damage can occur.
Friction fit for critical timing components?!?!? Unbelievable!
Being that this is the case, if the bolt backed out, then your timing is definately out.
