I snapped my timing belt recently, and took the head off to check for valve damage. I got everything put back together. My car started, but it ran really rough. I took out the spark plug wires individually, and found that there was no change in engine operation.

I was able to start and restart my car multiple times, until eventually, the car died, and didn't start again. I checked to make sure that my spark plug wires were on the right spots on the distributor, that my belt was on right, and that everything was all connected.

I'm kind of an amateur. Please help, I'll love you forever.

 

if everything was plugged in perfect and if timing was correct, it should of ran hella smooth. im still thinking that you put the spark plug wires wrong thats why it ran rough and didn't change how it ran when you pulled the wires one at a time. did you do a valve adjustment? post up a video if you can. it'll help you get better answers to solve this.

 

Sounds like you didnt line up everything up.
