I have a twin cam KA24de and I just had the head rebuilt and did a new head gasket and installed some arp hardware.

I got the motor to crank and idle on the very first try. I then started to play with the distributor to get it running smooth. I know it can be hard to get it on the exact right tooth and I feel like I've tried every possible position and it still runs super rough and misfires/bogs down or won't run at all.

I have watched countless videos and read so many forum posts about setting the timing and I'm fairly certain I have everything setup right (TDC, cams facing out, dizzy rotor lines up with 1st cylinder wire, its getting fuel and spark etc.) and I still can't get it to run right.

does any one have any tips or suggestions as to what it might be??

Currently tackling the same situation but mine is turbo and the afr's are leaning out . But from my experience. MAF injectors TPS 02 sensors . Vaccum leaks . IACV . ... things in that nature I was having problems with idling too at first .
