i just change the timing belt of my prelude 2000 H22A4 but now that i put everything back in place it just dont start, feels like if does not have fuel but i checked filter, fuel pump and fuses.

i changed the belt because it got ripped, do you think that the valves suffered any damage?

i use the diagram from this link.

really helpfull BTW.

 

Im not sure if it can be the valves. how did it rip? did you try starting it or it ripped and you turned it off?

 

did you put your battery back? lol simple stuff like that can be forgotten haha :p

 

lol, it got ripped while i was driving, and i had to tow it to my house.

 

Do a compression and leakdown test.

 

I would check back over the timing marks, and firing order.

 

Any resolution to the issue? Did the car start? I have a similar issue which I will post shortly.

 

timing belt teeth being off usually seems like a fuel problem. i know it's not as easy putting on a new belt as it is marking an old one and putting it back on exactly right.

if you weren't in vtec, i wouldn't worry about jacked up valves. it's still worth doing checks, but don't stress over it until you get your numbers.

 

oh, and have a friend look at your car. you may be looking right at something obvious and not seeing it.

check to make sure that all your sensors are hooked up. check your grounds.throwing any codes?

 

problem solved well it wasnt a big issue, i checked before and i had spark but apparently it wasnt on time so the guy just adjusted the distributor and it worked perfectly.
