So yesterday I changed my timing belt and put everything at TDC and put the belt on snug and did everything right the first time but when I got done, my car wouldnt start. It trys to turn over but it wont start. It is the timing? I double checked everything before I put the covers back on and it was all lined up perfectly!

 

help please!

 

did you put the spark plugs in? did you recconect the battery?? does it even turn over??

 

Did you use the white mark or the red mark on the crank pully to find TDC? The white mark is the correct one.

 

I used the notch on the crank gear to find TDC, where is the white mark that im supposed to use to find TDC located, is it on the gear or pulley?
and yes everything is hooked up

its on the pulley. dont use the knotch in the cover, thats no good.

 

So I'm 100% positive I timed it right today and still wont start!
the spark from the plugs are kind of weak so I'm going to change those out tomorrow
could that be the problem?

 

yeah that could be part of the problem. you always got to check the little ****. i changed my spark plugs one day went to start it and somehow my starter went out. weird crap man.

 

Well I really hope thats it and hope that doesnt happen to me!

 

check your firing order.

 

How?

 

So I replaced my cap, rotor, spark plugs, wires but didnt start still! I dont know what else to look for?
Any suggestions?

grounds?

 

Have you isolated the issue? Have you determined that you aren't getting spark for sure or are you just not getting fuel...if you lined up all the marks properly or even close to properly you'd be able to fire it right up, just wouldn't run right.

You don't know how to check the firing order but you're 100% sure that you set the engine to TDC?

Have you made any progress with your issue? The first time I changed a timing belt I had the timing 180 degrees out. It would spit and sputter but never started.

 

I sure hope that your timing is right because those are interference engines so if your turned it over with the timing out of wack you could bend a valve....

that would be a rare occurrence, if his cam timing was off.

out-of-whack ignition timing is not going to cause piston to valve contact.
