I would put it TDC on #1 cylinder and verify that you have the distributor stabbed correctly. It's very easy to get it installed incorrectly. It sounds like you have checked out everything else it could possibly be. Good Luck!

Did you do the relearn procedure when the CKP sensor was replaced?

Here are the diagnostics for P1351 for a 98 350. Maybe it will help...

Thank you all for helping, It runs now! After swapping ICM's and crank pos sensors,( for no good reason, other than being aftermarket, and having some on shelf), Updating computer grounds (THE FIX) and playing with Torque app and BAFX obd adapter to make it show cam angle while cranking. It was really a time wasting repair. I think updating all the internal and external Puter grounds will help it survive another 5 years. I overkilled the grounds, just in case. everything to frame, and megged just to be sure. I especially appreciate the Manual references-(East 302). Great board. Hope I can help someone here.
