after removing and re-installing the distributor on my 1999 Chevy K1500, the truck would not start. i turned the engine over to have the #1 piston at top dead center, and aligned the rotor to point to the #1 terminal on the distributor cap, and it started after sputtering a bit. but now the "service engine soon" light is on. i believe i have to get the distributor cam retard offset set with someone that has the tool required (from previous posts), but i was wondering what are the steps they will do to adjust the offset. will they have to remove the cap? lift the distributor? about how much time will they need?
if anybody has any ideas, please post them. thanks a bunch.
