After replacing rotor it does not fire at all

This may be a dumb question, but there isn't a factory protective cover on the contact point on a rotor when you buy it...is there? I am going out to check those things. you mentioned. Are we ruling out timing belt, or distributor damage?

No not ruling out anything, ie; if rotor doesn't turn, maybe the belt. Only the more expensive rotors offer the extra components, and was hoping there was no damage to the distributer, that's why the questions were asked that way.

The rotor does turn. i apologize. I wasn't questioning your logic. I was trying to follow but you were way ahead of me. I believe a cerain auto parts store will rent me a code finder. The store with the initials O'R will let you use it on the premises. The car won't fire, and when it still did it was too crummy to put on road.

Scan it a see what you get. Let me know

the first problem code to show up was PO1336. I have no clue what that means

I have an answer for you on the other post, Sorry didn't get a notice of your reply.

Since you guys baled on this anyway: I know i haven't got it to fire after changing the rotor, BUT, it took very excessive cranking to get it to fire before I touched the distributor. The reason why i can't get it to fire is because now the battery is too shot to crank long enough to get a spark. The Crankshaft Location Sensor is bad according to the sensor. That by its self will make it do and not do all that is and isn't happening. Thank you ProfessorG

I didn't bail on you I went to bed it was 2300 and I worked all day on problems and still have more to deal with today. Tell all the information about the battery and all during the conversation at hand. The crank sensor could still be an issue but I thought you could still crank it while we were talking. I'll be on and off the computer during the day. If I get an Email on you're reply I will come back and answer.

Unless I messed up, I got three codes: 1334, 340, the camshaft sensor bank 1, and 325 the4 bank 1 knock sensor circuit I believe. Can three items fail at once. Do i need to trade the distributor for the 340 repair?

I would do the dist and poss the crank. Wait on the others. The cam sensor is the dist.

I heard the knock sensor wont turn the check engine on. Do I need a new distributor? You read the part about the rust I found in the old one...that must be a yes, change it. They aren't that much really

Change the dist. YES
