I'm back :( It's purring like a kitten on idle, it will run indefinitely on idle, but stalls as soon as putting in gear. Also, timing light is reading crankshaft position as off, not matching where lined up. Thoughts? Reading at about 90 degrees.

Hello,

Yep I see a dot on the gear on the right, do you see one on the left? This is the marks that should lined up I would think.

Please let us know what you find ;)

Cheers, Ken

Thanks, line up with what? I/E are at top with marks meeting in the middle. Am I supposed to do something else with the dots? For giggles I did line them up in the middle yesterday, but it wouldn't start. All other marks are off if I do that though.

I see, you are okay with the marks, I took a closer look at the diagram so the way you have it is correct. So it runs but it dies at idle or?

It runs on idle, but as soon as you give it gas or put it in gear it stalls. It's now overheating. Running very rich, spitting a lot of condensation out of the exhaust pipe, and the catalytic converter is blowing.
