Verify you are getting 5v reference signal at the sensor. (since the truck runs, my guess would be "yes".....) Gotta be a bad connection somewhere, pinched wire, corrosion, whatever, bad sensor, (yes, even though its 'new'....) or failing PCM. (rare.)
I'm leaning more towards a bad sensor because it's not Mopar. So I think I'm going to try and do that and then make sure it's timed correctly.
Timing isn't adjustable. Turning the distributor only changes injector timing. You get a VERY small range of 'acceptable' on that too. too far in either direction and you get some really strange performance issues. Need a scanner that can read fuel sync to set it properly.
