Install it the same way it was before. Sounds like
your distributor and camshaft gears are worn. Have
a compression test done to see I'd your heads
aren't cracked. Common problem with those motors.
I'm thinking you need an engine rebuild or check
again for any fuel issues.

I ran a compression test all good 150-170 then hit each
cylinder with air as each cylinder came around to fire no
escape air out intake crankcase or exhaust, do you think the
computer might of taken a dump or a crank sensor problem?
The fuel pump I replaced last year and a new filter and
diaphragm on rail doesn't leak what's really going on?

A faulty crank sensor can cause a loss of
communication with the pcm along with other drive
ability issues that you are experiencing. I would
recommend replacing the sensor first if you haven't
done it yet.
