when you replaced the opti did you line up the key spline correctly? that may cause your timing issue

There's almost no way the timing chain jumped, way more likely your plug wires are not on the right cylinders.

Everybody has at one point or another. I bought a truck for $1200 a month ago because a guy replaced the plug wires and put them all 1 off on the distributor and he couldn't get it to run again and thought hed broken the distributor. He had 3 other "mechanics" come look at it and when I got there, rotated all the plugs, and fired it up AFTER we settled on the price, he was PISSED.
