Default Redundant timing belt replacement

Replace timing belt have checked several times for correct alignment is perfecteverytime when I crank the motor over it acts like there's no compression like there's no timing belt but everything is moving and I checked the marks everything is perfect literally looks like a perfect timing belt I go to start it it acts like there's no no compression for the sounds like no fuel don't feel down the scrub local wants to start but doesn't also the key won't turn back into the locked position to remove ignition but we'll turn forward to start on accessory but will not go to Lock and remove manual transmission

You can rent a compression test tool at most local autoparts stores (Autozone/Advanced/Oreilly). They also aren't extremely expensive tools and are useful to have around.

If you confirm low compression, the next step would be to do a leakdown test to determine where you're losing that compression. If you're lucky you may just have something like a sticking valve, if you're unlucky then you may have already damaged a piston.
