when he had the chain off, he might have rotated either the crank or cam gear, and on mine, it couldt really go backwards...so he probably twisted it around untill it lined up again, thus causing it not to run right because on of them may be off....

 

What's your fuel pressure look like?

 

95RAM -- I don't know why he would rotate anything when changing the timing chain but it looks now like that's right, regardless. I was excited as it really seemed like a potential solution

HeyYou -- I checked the fuel pressure and it was 45 psi at the rail and held strong. Tried 'metering' some gas through the intake, to and it was no different (a poor man's check to see if it was the injectors).

 

Unscrew the pre cat 02 sensor for the hell of it and see what happens.

 

^ah +1 never though about the CAT being plugged up

 

I'll try any and all of the ideas posted here. I'll have to get the engine back together first! Thanks and keep the ideas coming.

 

i think, if theres a blockage....even with it not running if you unscrew it, you may be able to hear it "relieve pressure"
