I have a 99 dak with a 3.9. I replaced the motor and when taking the old dizzy cap off the bolts broke in the distributor. Being in a rush and not thinking, I just pulled the distributor out and didn't mark anything. Now with it all together it won't run....at all. I turned the crank to the tdc mark on the balancer and timing cover, made sure the rotor and cam sensor all lined up at tdc on #1 cylinder, and still nothing. I've been reading about fuel sync, is there a way to get it close so I can get it to the stealership? I have no idea where to go from here...I'm lost. Please help guys.

 

Are you sure #1 cylinder was on the compression stroke when you lined up the TDC mark on the balancer?

 

Yup. Had the valve cover off to be sure. It was tdc on the compression stroke.

 

It's almost a given you messed up the fuel sync.

Double check you're on TDC then check for spark.

 

Found the issue. Went out this morning and thought about what you guys said, I had the distributor 180 off. Turned it around, put it back together and it fired right up. Thanks for your help guys.
