On the distributor housing:
There will be a small numeral 8 and a 6. Make sure the rotor faces the
numeral 6 on the housing. While all vehicles are susceptible to clogged
catalytic convertors, I would say first:
Spray a good grade carburetor cleaner in the throttle body, try to start the
engine. (If it starts, the problem is a fuel delivery problem.)
The distributor gears are prone to apple core out in the center, to lower
center and edge. This can affect timing. (DO NOT cut the distributor hold
down, to adjust timing!)
The wheel on the distributor shafts, are also known to slip.
There is a well documented problem with the injectors on this engine, and
the 5.7 CPSI injectors, as used in the 4.3.
You'll need a good scanner to check the timing and cam sync on that engine
also. a dealer in my area usually charges $40.00 plus tax.
If you have any problems, feel free to e-mail me.
