Just changed the timming cover on my 22 water was getting in the oil when I took it apart I saw that the timeing chain had been replaced so left it as it was now that I put everything back together the truck won't start and when I start it it it makes a pop noice and smoke comes out the throttle body but when I start it directy with the key in off position and spray starting fluid in the throttle body it starts normal untill the fluid runs out...so what's wrong really stumped and don't know what to do...

sounds like your timing is off

That's what I was thinking. Truck ran fine befor could it be that my distributor it a tooth off?

it's possible, what position was the rotor in when you put the dizzy in?

yoda user

It was at about 1 o clock it was pointing at the number 1 spark plug

IIRC, with the #1 at TDC I believe, the dizzy should be positioned at like 10 or 11 o'clock because it's going to turn a bit as it engages splines to the 12 o'clock position. Check your FSM to make sure...

I marked it and its right bak were it was when I took it off just tried starting it after I loosed and rotated it just a little and it really pop this time it sounded like a gun shot not sure if I should keep trying to start it can I cause any damage by doing this?

Just put it at tdc and the daizzy was at about 7 or 8 o'clock pulled it out and rotaded it to about 11 and it doesn't back fire any more and sound likes its going to start stated to try the starting fluid again and my battery is dying its sound a lot better though thanks for the advice...
