Default replace crank pulley and car won't start.

my crank pulley was damage now that i've replace it the car won't start. nothing was touch in the process of replacing the pulley. need some tip where to check. all the light and such turns on and it doesn't dim so it can't be the battery and i just replace the battery last month.

i think i move it a little bit would that effect if the car turn over or not. i thought only the timing belt would matter.

If you turned the crank backwards while replacing the pulley, your timing belt maybe skipped a couple teeth.

But... does the starter crank the engine & it doesn't start? Or does the starter not work? If it's the starter then look for loose grounds & big battery cables.

well the best i can explain this to you, when i installed a new distributor on my accord, i guess i must have turned the crank back enough so that it wouldnt allow the car to start...and so basically im diagnosing you and your problem based on the fact that you did nearly the same thing i did...but make sure you test the electric stuff under the hood, besides the obvious you never know what could not be working
