Question:

02 Grand Caravan 3.8 overheated replaced 1 head gasket, now it wont start, how do I check the timing on DIS? Has spark, I even gave a shot of starting fluid in intake, it seems to fire once in a while & sometimes a backfire from intake,what should i look for?

Answer;
you may have crossed the plug wires, make sure they are installed correctly. The timing on the engine is not able to be set. Also the lifters may have bled down when disassembled and you may need to crank it over for a while to build the oil pressure back up.

Firing Order 1-2-3-4-5-6
Cylinder Number (Front to Rear)
-Front Bank 2,4,6
-Rear Bank 1,3,5
