Any error codes from the computer? Does it crank for ever with out starting, or start and sputter then die?

it was the distributor, swapped it out of my other car. started right up.

i cant get my timing right. cylinder #1 compression stroke TDC. rotor under cap #1. pull spout, adjust timing, put spout back . timing moves. idles good , but all over the place when gasing it..

is it possible that im a tooth off when i install the distributor.

Timing moves around once you install the spout
