ok lets start with more info on what you did to the engine. Did you set it to the tdc of the compression stroke for cylyder 1 before disasembly. Did you keep all valvetrain parts in order for reasembly? Did you use a new timing assembly? Have you checked the fuel delivery system. Have you torqued evrything back to spec? More information is needed is everything factory or has there been mods done to this engine or the controller?

You don't need a scanner to read codes. Turn thr key on/off/on/off/on and the codes will display in the odometer as PXXXX. When it's finished or no codes it will dispaly Pdone.

By "on" I mean "on" not "start". Just wnated to clarify that.
