Replaced timing belt...engine will not start. Help!
I'm stumped!
I replaced timing belt, all other belts, water pump, and tensioner pully to Helm's specs. Try to start the car, it cranks but it won't kick in.
Thought it was off a tooth, so I went forwards and backwards one tooth on the cam gear. No help.
Thought maybe I wasn't getting spark. But I checked plug, and am getting spark.
I haven't touched anything else electrical (except disconnecting battery) or fuel related. What else could make it do this?
Thanks for your help!

you set the engine @ TDC before you took the belt off right? then when you installed the new belt you just slided it on..
in other words you didnt mess with the cam gear position at all when the belt was off?
The engine sounds like it has compression when being cranked right?
if it sounds normal when cranking, and you have spark; then you have to check for fuel now...

hmm start off my hearing ur fuel pump prime up when u first turn the key on but not start the engine. second take of the line that runs to ur fuel pressure regulator or to ur fuel rail i believe and see if fuel comes out. third if u want check to hear if each injector is firing. But before that check all ur Relays and Fuses.
Good Luck!
