rcdad123 is an unknown quantity at this point
ok. try advancing the ignition/distributor timing one tooth. it may looked like it is too far advanced after you do this, but it worked for me. turn the crank pulley till you get to the first(advanced, not tdc) mark on the crank. make sure it is on compression stroke on the number 1 cyl. now look at the distributor rotor and make sure its pointing at number one cyl. pull the distributor out and rotate the shaft/rotor one tooth counter clockwise. this would make it advance mechanically. put everything back together, but don`t tighten the distributor hold down bolts yet. remove and dry the spark plugs and have somebody try to start the engine while you move the distributor till it starts. if the engine has a hard time cranking over, (ignition too far advanced), rotate the distributor clockwise a little bit. this method worked for me on a 1995 s14. good luck.
