its some thing u did with those solenoids.check and make sure u didnt smash any wires with the valve cover.check the wires at the solenoids check that the soleniods are getting voltage when the key is on.u will need a meter or test light to check them.we can start here

I did check all of that. I took them in and out a lot trying to adjest them, some time the car will run rough and sometime will not start at all and other time will be popping as it's out of time. I scrwed them in pushed them in. it seemed like there is a specail way they should go back,these solenoids shaft runs a half gear on a third small came on the top of another cam.
