Why did you change all that stuff? Did you confirm something bad?

Sounded like timing but the oil pump I changed because at first oil was no pumping so well timing chain I changed because it has not been changed is 200000 miles so I figured it jumped time cam censer I charged because I was not getting anything out of the single wire + the wires where burnt at the base of the censer

You probably want to start with a compression test and then scan then computer for any stored codes.
