have you checked for power to ignition, coils and such. download factory manual and go through the no start process.

What timing did you do on this direct ignition system? Did you have all the plug wires off at the same time? A engine with no spark can not back fire.

There is something I am missing. Timing in a 3800 is not adjustable do you mean you checked the firing order?
