+Sonic Boom Thanks for the feedback!

bring it to tdc and drop it in. that puts your back where your were its just the long way to do it if u didn't mark reference points. I do it this way everytime

+Kevin Hamilton Thanks for the tip!

Go to a pre 96 hold down and you can rotate the distributor

@@robinvackar3653 huh?

You ever figure it out? I have a similar problem.

Right this makes no sence

Doesn’t have to be when you pull it out when you put it you have to get tdc

+Isaiah Vorhies If the distributor goes bad it would cause the vehicle to run rough or possibly not start. Hope this helps you out. 1aauto.com

I have a 99 k3500 7.4 I am getting a p0300 I have replace cap rotor plugs wires no leaks great compression switch plugs same thing any help

Did you check ignition coil?

check wires are on correct cylinders i had a p0300 and 2 wires had been crossed by a certified mechanic mistakes happen.

Try replacing your throttle position sensor

+Jackson Cruz Thank you for checking us out. This will have to be aligned properly for function and fit. 1aauto.com

Yes, definitely and check for oil pressure immediately after initial start up just to be sure.

@@MrMd5555 to my knowledge the distributior won't sit flush with intake if the notch is not properly seated into oil pump.

Jared Drake pretty critical. it wont ever run right with out it

Mine had a flat gasket

Just a circular gasket

+DareDiverX It may be a similar process

+@fredburnsiv1230 We do not have a video for this repair right now, but we'll keep this request in mind for a future video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

+Kevin Hamilton Thanks for the tip!

Rotate it again...

Same problem here

I realize it is kind of off topic but do anyone know of a good place to watch new movies online?

I use a timing light to time mine. ( just saying ).

@@kiannicolas2678 . try Netflix.

+@David-us6qq This procedure might be different for your application. We do not currently have a how-to video for this particular year, make and model. Thank you for asking! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

Dance the distributor around, when it makes contact all the way down and you pull it out. It will move the oil pump one tooth counter clockwise usually. It’s a labor of time if you don’t have the tool to align it

Pancake Studios Nope. Need a scan tool still

You need to adjust it mechanically

I dont see why you wouldnt though. One thumb screw and that giant assembly is out of the way

fuel filter dude.. try that.. and you mite have a crossed wire

dave a Hello there's a channel on RU-vid called scannerdanner. If you want to understand more about vehicle diagnostics he's your guy. He also has a website called scannerdanner premium. It's $11 per month to be a member. He is a teacher at Rosedale technical college in Pittsburgh PA. The premium site takes you along in video format of his class lectures. He also wrote a book which is available in paperback or ebook. Which is to be used as trouble shooting guide in the field. His premium site has a 14 day free trial. Once there he has a video that covers this specific topic in regards to 5.7 vortec distributor and worn gear and symptoms of it. CAM-CRANK CORRELATION TROUBLE CODE (1998 CHEVY 5.0L) that is the title of the video and it is only available on his premium site. Again his site has 14 day free trial. You can create an account watch that video and leave before the 14 days are up. Or you can stick around and pick up what he's putting down and learn quite bit like I have over the last 5 months. It's up to you. But I would highly recommend you at least checking out the video about your issue. And then be the judge from there as to sticking around or not.

dave a I actually found similar video from scannerdanner here on RU-vid. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vs4vxeVVQkc.html But seriously try scannerdanner premium for the 14 days. You'll learn an immense amount of knowledge from him whether you join premium or just watch his free videos here on RU-vid. The guy is an engine electrical performance diagnostic God. I'm telling you, you owe it to yourself to check him out. And you'll see what I'm talking about. The guy has changed my life!

Did you ever figure it out?

+DutchStyleBlacclouDs We don't have a how-to video for the C1500 right now, but the basic steps in this video should be enough to do this task. Buy this part for your vehicle on 1AAuto.com: 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

+David L At this time in the video the tech is connecting the distributor electrical connector. Thanks for watching!

+Hugo Perez Thanks for checking us out. 1aauto.com

Did you fix the issue? It was more than likely 180 degrees out.

Find a new one

I just did a distributor change tonight and now have the same code saying either timing chain slack or distributor tooth off one. Did you solve this issue yet and if so i'd be curious to know what ended up being your solution.. Hope it worked out for u n i hear back. Thanks

+Jesse Rousseau Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team.

I was hoping that the video would show a scanner with a cam offset function for under $500.
