First of all, thanks for your replies guys! Smile

Secondly I need to clear up some things as I've been far to much in my own head when trying to explain things for you. I've physically checked that the #1 piston is at TDC when the crank pullie, cam gears and cam dimple line up as they should. When I wrote pullies what I meant was: Crank, alternator and water pump pullies. I haven't touched the cams, intake or anything mayor on the engine except the distributor, which is why I assumed that it must be a ignition problem but since I've set it where it should be and the car still runs like a piece of crap it "must" be something else?

Checked again and the car does enter diagnostic mode but the only change is that the "check engine" light starts to flash, no directly noticeable change to idle or timing. The light flashes 11 times which I found out through some googleing means that there's something wrong with the AC which I don't have.

The connections on the distributor cap has 1,2,3,4 molded in so I've put the respective cables on the corresponding number.

I've also ordered new sparkplugs, cables, distributor cap and rotor arm. Hopefully I will get them on friday so I can change it on sunday to see if it makes any changes.

And the oil thing was just something I got in my head and started to over-think Wink

Thanks for all your help again! Smile
