Is there a testing procedure for the wiring harness and the pcm? I checked the manual and couldn’t find anything

Have you set the fuel sync with a scanner yet? That may fix some of your issues. Another thing that may help, add 2 or 3 bottles of Seafoam and 5 gallons of fresh gas.

I should have been a tad more clear, p0340 has not gone away. The misfire is gone completely.

I do not have access to a scanner that can set the fuel sync, the p0340 won’t allow it to go fast enough without issue to limp it to a mechanic shop to do it I’ve added seafoam but not that much and the gas is fresh in it.

Are there any tests that you know of that can be done? I found another forum which detailed testing the wiring, but it was for a diesel. And none of the wiring matched up with min.

Let the engine idle, grab the harness for the sensor, and start moving it around. if it's bad, the engine should stumble, or die.....

If you pulled the distributor/pump drive gear it's possible you didn't put it back in correctly and this could be setting the code. In the LA motors you could run it in any position as long as the firing order was correct. In the magnums you can't do it. Get the motor to TDC #1 cylinder on the COMPRESSION STROKE. Remove the cap and see where the rotor is pointing. If you can't set it like in the pic it's probably off.
