[tech] last chance to help

[pbureau@attbi.com (pbureau@attbi.com)]

the only 2 things I can think of are 

1. when at TDC, does the rotor point at the notch on the
edge of the distributor?

2. did you check the adjustement of the air flow sensor
plate (I had a car hard to start and it was way off)
