    Car won't fire at all. Code 14. Sound like engine jumped timing but belt is fine and tight.
    Main relay working fine.

    If the CEL comes on and goes off after 2 seconds, when the ignition switch is turned to ON (Position II), the problem is distributor related. Usually, replacing the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil solves the problem:

    Not the solution.
