If the PIP sensor missing one out put it will set a code in the Computer memory. What codes do you have in computer memory?

I am not sure what book you are talking about that says something about voltages. I also do not know what wire you were on when you took the readings.

Pip wire to ground to check AC voltage. Haynes manual. I don't understand how to read the codes I keep trying and I know it has one but I can't figure out the code when counting needle swipes on my analog meter. Don't know how to explain but I just can't figure the code out.

Take video of the codes with your phone and post it up.

I feel like i'm getting plenty of fire, but at the wrong time. pulled the number 8 wire with truck running and it doesn't effect how the truck idles at all, but it is firing. I did the basic stretch test on the timing chain today and only had 2 degrees of rotation before the distributor started to move. so all good there. is it possible that the timing chain has jumped a tooth?
