1992 Fleetwood 4.9. Just replaced engine with used 4.9L engine, original one seized up from head gasket leak and overheating. Install went well, used new Distributor, coil, cap, plugs, etc. Engine turns over fine, sounds like it wants run, but there is no spark. I set TDC on #1 cylinder set rotor to #1 plug, jumped A&B on adl conector etc etc just as the shop manual says to. Only trouble code is e55 tps out of range. Yes there is fuel pressure. Any sugestions would be greatly appreciated.

Make sure pink wire to distributor has 12v. and all distributor connectors are plugged in.When you replaced cap there is ground strap that goes from under coil to where connectors plug in that should have been transfered and carbon button goes in first then rubber disc. If you flip cap upside down and button sticks out of cap and there are 5 terminals present cap should be - ok.If injectors are spraying fuel, check for gas soaked spark plugs, then pick up coil should be ok. Ignition module or coil are like cause. Hope it helps
