I had a blown head gasket on #5 cyl so I pulled both heads and had them checked and milled. We put it all back together including new parts: timing set, fuel injection spider assy, all new gaskets, pulgs(NGK), wires, cap, rotor. It was running extremely rough, coughing and spitting and when we tried to give it any throttle it would couch and die. We double, triple, quadruple checked the timing- #1 on TDC on compression and the rotor pointing to #1 in the cap (the little #6 inside the dist). It still acts the same way. Pulled the upper intake back off to check for leaks and all was fine; pulled the timing cover back off to double-check we installed that correctly and was fine. We replaced the camshaft position sensor since the only code it threw was p-0341. It is still running the same. We pulled a couple of the new plugs and they are extremely blackened already. We also put the old cap/rotor back on in case we got a bad one from the store and the old one was known to work and same result.

Nevermind, I fixed it myself.

Timing was off? If it was a newer CPi the caps can make it difficult to see where #1 is supposed to be

I said I already fixed it myself. I just want my 20.00 donation back. How do I do that?
