OK I've read the others responses and have a couple more "tricks" to add to gthe group think.

1. When trying to line up the intermediate shaft it is very easy to not get it right on. I use a mirror on one of those little extensions, light source from above, and from underneath the car I make sure that the intermediate shaft is lined up right on the timing mark. I use the same technique just as a cross check for the cranshaft timing mark. Obviously the mark on the top is straight forward and does not require any special manuevering.

2. I'd sure make sure that you don't have any clogged fuel lines. Disconnect the main line at the fuel pump and then at the rail. Put something over the line and blow on it. Pretty straight forward from there.

3. Do you have an "in-line" aftermarket filter? If so, I'd replace it too.

4. What about the air filter. I'd suggest throwing out whatever is in the car and replacing it with a K&N filter.....I've noticed a real improvement in both performance and gas mileage when I did this.

5. Check the straight forward things. I like to start simple and move the complicated. Is the distributor cap on right? not 180 out? Is the distributor line completely plugged in? Are the fuel pumps running? Are there any blown fuses?


Hope is works out for you....good luck.
