Some background info. 92 h23

-Somehow blew a headgasket..relaced, put back together started car, timing was just a little off.

-Took off timing belts and all, put them back on,with the timing set perfect(annoying) and today tried to start and it turns over fine but doesnt start!

-I replaced sparkplug wires and ignition to distributor wire, as I couldnt see them sparking in there and now I do with new ones.

-I hear the fuel pump prime the fuel system before I start so I assume I am getting fuel.

I'm pretty clueless here, any thoughts? Thanks!

 

There are 3 "general" reasons why a car won't start:

Fuel (pump and filter)
Fire (spark)
Electricity (battery and alternator)

If it turns over (you have electricity coming from the battery to the alternator) and doesn't start, and you're getting a spark, most likely, it's not getting fuel - right?!

Which could mean you're fuel pump isn't working properly and/or your fuel filter needs replacement.

These are just some simple things to go by, and I hope this helps. I think you know the issue here. It sounds like you got it!

 

Sounds like since u've replaced the timing belt the car doesn't start. Which leads me to believe that the timing may be off. U sure u're not off a couple of teeth on the cam gears? Also have u made sure u got ur spark plug firing order correct? And cel's?

 

Yeah that would make sense for the timing to be off, I checked it plenty of times before putting it all back together and checked it again after I tried to start it.

The arrows point up on the cam gears and the lines match up next together as well as the white mark on the flywheel.....

I'll double/triple check spark wires tomorrow as the distributor looks different then the one in the manual i have...*the markings on it look different.

Thanks for the help guys!
