Question

Answer
Hi Shawn,

This could be a toughie, not being there!

My first question is, does this vehicle have the crank sensor that is mounted in the lower front of the timing cover? And if so, did it get disturbed during the removal/installation?
This sensor signals the coil(s) to fire.

Check and make sure it is plugged in, then get back to me, okay?
