    Ok so I did what u told me...and when the air pushed out the #1 plug the pulley was not on TDC or even close. I would say about 1/4 to 1/2 a full pulley turn but, the rotor was close to the #1. However like I asked before does it matter if the distributor has been moved already? I would assume yes but im not expert.. Someone can give me new ideas or anything I really need some help here. I am so damn frustrated at the moment!!!! Finally my car comes home and now all this happening with my budget very low...

    Kinda sounds like the cam gear is failing...the TDC should line up at compression....Although there won't be much compression if that's the case

    I'd put money on the fact that it has jumped time.
