Engine Mechanical problem
1999 Buick Regal 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

I jusst replace the upper intake on this Buick. It had overheated and ran real funky and it died when she got in the driveway. Problem won't start. Replace all fluids. Repair the manifold by installing new. Re connect all connections. Re check the connections. Check for spark on one of the plugs I have spark. Check codes shows no promblems. With this being a distriburless engine how do you check to see if this engine is in time. I cannot see any place that would show timing marks since it uses a crank sensing sensor which must be ok since it did't show in codes read out. What I was thinking it jump a tooth or two and or somthing in that order.

The ignition timing is not adjustable. You can check the valve timing with a compression test.
