Re: Ignition
Turn the engine (in the direction of normal rotation) until the top dead center (TDC) mark on the harmonic dampener aligns with the pointer. It will be on either #1 or #6. Remove distributor cap. The rotor must be pointed either directly to a line scribed on the rim of the dist. housing, or 180 deg. away from the mark. If not pointed as described, a fault may have occurred in the dist. drive components, including the timing chain, sprockets, and guides. Also check the rotor for security on the dist. shaft, and for free movement of the rotor centrifugal advance mechanism (will the rotor turn ~10-15 deg., and then spring back?).

Re: Fuel
One pump will be sufficient to show a flow at a loosened injector line, but does not provide enough pressure to open the check valves. One pump will, however, provide enough pressure for the cold start valve to supply enough fuel for a very brief start.

Ensure that spark timing and quality are correct before chasing fuel system faults.
