I believe several people have recommended Flagship One if you need to replace the PCM
Narrator: Nobody recommended that.

Pull the cover off the oil pump drive and check the alignment with #1 cylinder at TDC
Does this look correct i was struggling to find a mark on the pully

Are the alignment holes on the oil pump drive lined up?
That small hole located at 8 o’clock as you’re looking at it from the passenger side should line up with the one below it. If it doesn’t, you are either not at TDC or the timing is off.
It looks off
it looks off, if you are confident the timing marks on the harmonic balancer are aligned (TDC), you’ll need to adjust the oil pump drive to align those holes. Loosen the hold down and rotate it just like you would with a distributor. If you have a drill bit or something similar the same diameter as the alignment holes you can use it maintain alignment while you retighten the hold down bolt.
ill triple check my tdc and then adjust
ok made small adjustment .. still cranks but now if i hold it to the floor it kinda half starts for 2 seconds
Was there any exhaust? Fuel pressure is still in question.
How do I check fuel pressure I don't have a valve on my fuel rail any idea ...I sprayed some starter fluid in it no change

Was just wondering if you able to get things figured out?
I have not had anymore luck on it i ordered a crank position sensor that will be here Tuesday... not sure what else to check at this point. I wish the 05 was the same as my 97 so i could swap parts and trouble shoot more
I don't think the crank sensor is the problem, but maybe you will get lucky.
To test fuel pressure, you have to put a test tee between the rail and fuel line.
Since your OPDA was off, I'm thinking that the timing chain jumped. Unless the OPDA hold down bolt was loose to start with.
A bad crank or cam sensor would likely set an error in the pcm and not work even momentarily additionally, you have spark and the fuel pump is running, neither would be functioning (or the injectors) if the pcm didn’t see correct signals coming from those sensors.
You have verified spark, timing, and fuel, if the engine can breathe that should be it. One of these must still be compromised.
i want to check the chain its going to be warm enough i can go out and do that this week.
i know thats prob not it i ordered one in a im lost mood the other night. I keep feeling its in timing
