I have a 93 pickup with a 22re engine. It had a blown head gasket and when i finished putting it all back together it will crank but not without giving it gas. It wont idle when it hits about 3000 rpm it sounds good. I dont have any aparent vac leeks but maybe crossed. If the cam gear is off a tooth will it still crank?
yes it will but it wont run too good
remove the valve cover, then put the crank pulley timing mark on 0*, then look at where your cam timing is at, the cam mark should be about 1/2 a tooth to the left (as looking at the engine from the front) of 12 o clock
