Yeah, have someone crank while you test. Same as if it was running, but
cranking instead. Timing ought to be close to the specified 16deg BTDC.

Another method: Turn engine by hand to TDC compression (#1 valves closed),
then remove distributor cap and see if rotor arm is pointing at the #1
terminal on the cap. That will give you an idea whether the timing's
horribly off or not.

Are you sure your timing belt hasn't slipped?

The original was a Denso O2S,the Walker sensor had better insulation on the
