It's late and the old brain may not be operating on all six cylinders.
I'd back up a few steps and start over again.
If you'd like I can try and talk you through the way I'd troubleshot it. It may require you to repeat a few steps, but maybe it's better to do it by the numbers.
well when it 1st broke down, my jeep stalled and died. i turned it over a few times and it would fire, than it would shut off. i towed it to my house and tried starting it again and it wouldn't even turn over. so i checked my TDC and it was right on. so i got all new plugs can rotor wires and coil, and that didnt work either. so my friend checked my tdc again with the rotor and i was about an inch off so we pulled off the timing chain cover to check it and the timing chain was newer looking. so we rewired the plug cables on the cap so it was in time so it was firing in the correct order and still its not firing. so my friend believes that its a flat cam
