yeah just go back to carb, points, and distributor. why do they need to make things soo complicated. i think that its a good idea to change out the cap. those caps are really weird on the 96s.

 

I would start with replacing the cap and rotor again just to make sure you did not just get some bad parts.

About the carb/points/etc. I would not go so far as to call points good. IMO, HEI blew points away for reliability and ease of use. But I digress, that is neither here nor there in this discussion. LMAO!!

 

ok so i replace cap and rotor rechecked timing, started up and same thing, but ran long enough to throw a code p1345-crankshaft position,camshaft positon correlation. just dont know what now. please help.

 

I kinda hate to bring this up but... are you SURE that you lined up the cam correctly when you changed the timing chain?

 

Check out this ==> P1345 Explained

If the cam was improperly timed to the crank, I would not think that the compression would work out to be as good... But then again...
