My engine is trying to turn over but it won't fully turn over. I have tried adjusting fuel flow. Also the msd ignition cuts off randomly while I am trying to start the vehicle. It's backfiring and I thought maybe I could adjust the timing off the ignition but I am not sure how to do it. If someone could please shed some light to this I would appreciate it. The motor is a 440 on a dodge 150

Check if you're constantly getting spark and the fuel pressure if its within specs.

What you need now is to verify if the valve and ignition timing is correct-Its takes 3 things for an engine to start that is compression, fuel and spark-you got 2 of them
