MilesFox Posted December 31, 2003 Share Posted December 31, 2003 #1 is 1st one on the passenger side, odds over there, even on the other side. the front on the driver side should be #2 the wire on the back of the cap, closest to the clip/screw. is #1, counterclockwise rotation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be where you should start looking If you have removed the dist. and reinstalled it then I would also look there more closely. Make sure it is not a tooth or 2 off. Make sure it isnt 180 off. Did you touch the timing belts? If so make sure they havent slipped a tooth and that they are properly installed.
