All the diagrams I see for the 3.9 show the same. However, some show a 60 degree advance in orientation of the cap, i.e. the number 1 position is at number 2. Try moving the wires counter clockwise one position.

If you began with a non running engine, I suggest you manually bar over the crankshaft until cylinder 1 is at TDC of the compression stroke. Then remove the distributor cap. The rotor should be pointing directly at distributor tower number 1 position.

You should start by doing a compression test on the engine. They are loaner tools from autozone. Once you do that, if your compression between cylinders varies ~20psi, there is an internal problem with your engine. Could be worn seals or rings.

hello. Call around to a few auto parts stores until you find one that offers a free computer scan service. Regards, Joe
