1. Connect the distributor's B+ (battery) terminal to a switched 12-volt source, such as the ignition switch.
2. Connect the distributor's tach terminal to the tachometer signal wire, if you have a tachometer.
3. Connect the distributor's ground wire to a good engine ground.
4. Connect the distributor's #1 spark plug wire to the #1 spark plug on the engine. The #1 spark plug is usually located on the driver's side front cylinder.
5. Connect the remaining spark plug wires in firing order sequence to the distributor cap terminals. The firing order for a Buick 455 engine is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2.
NO REV, gas engines (none told, nor country)
cam belt slipped?
bad fuel
spark plugs bad.
fuel pressure low or bad filter, FPR or pump.
air cleaner filter packed full of GUNk.
bad MAP or MAF sensors.
intermittent too, may be fuel pump/FPR related.
First you need to see if your getting spark to the plugs, then you need to check to see if fuel is getting to the fuel rail.
If this is OK, then check power to the CKP (Crank Position) sensor that comes from the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) and the trigger also
comes from the camshaft so the only thing you can test is the wires from the
crank sensor connector to the PCM and if good then the problem is on the
pcm computer. Some fault codes there?

The firing order is 1342. Be sure you have the wires on the distributor cap correctly and that the wire are on the correct spark plugs. #1 cylinder is on the right side of the vehicle. It would be on your left if standing in front of the car.
I do not have a breakdown diagram for a distributor, but just the firing orders and description of ignition system for the Dodge Colt and related models (based on Chilton manuals) if that's what you're looking for:

To avoid confusion, replace spark plug wires one at a time.

Distributor REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
Although the distributor can be removed from the engine no matter which cylinder is about to fire, it is a good idea to have number one cylinder at TDC before distributor removal.
1.5L, 1.8L, 2.4L SOHC Engines
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Disconnect and tag the spark plug wires from the distributor cap.
Disconnect the distributor harness connector.

Fig. 4: Ignition system for the 2.4L engine
Loosen the distributor retaining bolt and remove the distributor from the engine.
To install:
Rotate the engine until No. 1 cylinder is at TDC on its compression stroke.
NOTE: Be careful not to turn it to the No. 4 cylinder TDC on its compression stroke by mistake.
Align the distributor housing and gear mating marks.

Install the distributor into the engine, while aligning the fine cut (groove or projection) on the distributor flange with the center of the distributor mounting stud.
Install and tighten the distributor retaining bolt.
Reconnect the distributor harness connector.

To avoid confusion, ALWAYS replace spark plug wires one at a time.
The most important thing to remember about the removal and
installation of a distributor, cap or spark plug cable is that all
wires MUST be labelled before they are disconnected. Keep in mind that
these figures depict a firing order where the distributor cap terminals
are relative to EACH OTHER only and they do not necessarily depict the
tower positions in relation to the rest of the engine. This is true
because any distributor which has been removed and reinstalled may have
been installed with the No. 1 spark plug tower at any position (360
degrees) in relation to the rest of the motor, as long as the rotor
aligned to the No. 1 tower when the No. 1 cylinder was at TDC of the
compression stroke (valves closed, ready for the plug to fire). As long
as the remaining wires were connected in the correct firing order
sequence (depending on direction of distributor rotation) the engine
will run. DO NOT EVER remove more than one wire from the distributor
cap at a time unless you tag ALL wires and towers to assure proper
installation.
In servicing the spark plug . If the owner will be the one to change the spark plug then. the owner should locate the spark plugs . then prepare the equipments that is going to be used to change spark plug .First disconnect the spark plug cable to the spark pug . Then use the equipment to take the spark plug off to the engine. The spark plug should be twisted counter clock wise using the equipment to remove the spark plug.Then replace the spark plug.In returning the spark plug ,using the equipment you have to twist the spark plug clock wise . Then set the distributor shaft turn it according to the proper firing order that will be set to the spark plug if it is 1,3,4,2. Then the distributor shaft mark will be on 1.If 2,3,4,1 then the distributor shaft mark will be on 2. Then connect the spark plug cable , after connecting the owner have to test start the car so that to if it back fires .If it back fires then the owner have to repeat again the setting of the firing order of the spark plug until it will not back fires.If the owner don't have time to do the job in servicing or changing spark plug then the owner have to go to a car mechanic and let them change the spark plug.
change the coil and rotor inside the distributor and also the distributor module. also see if spark plugs and their cables need changing. good luck. tell me what type of oil to use for auto transmission in daewoo cielo 1996 DOHC engine
