We need more info. Has the car run at all since the work done? Does the car attempt to start? Do any plugs fire at all? Who did your install of t-belt and oil pump? Have you checked both cam and crank sensors make sure there plugged in still? You need to check your coil resistance. Check your popwer transistor unit also. Do you have good wires, plugs? Check all your fuses under the hood too.

I hate to say it but have you been experiencing any signs of crank walk? i.e. - ticking in t-belt cover? The crank angle sensor could have been chewed away.

The plug for the coil is right near all that stuff that you'd be moving around for a timing belt job. Make sure that it's plugged in and not loose.

car ran fine before i torn it down and did this job.. no it hasnt started since, i just finished it today.. when i put my timing belt on i made sure everything was aligned perfectly.. silence shaft, oil pump, crank, and cams... even if my timing was off i would still get spark, correct?


i pulled plug four to check for spark, and nothing.. i never unhooked the cam or crank sensors! where are they? and i dont even know where my coil is.. my haynes is useless..

If your timing is off, the car would spark, just wouldn't startup right away.

Do you get power to anywhere else in the car?
