Another No Crank thread - but different questions

[ScreamSalvation]

Well,

Finally got my timing belt changed and was trying to crank the car tonight (timing belt story is in another thread so will not post it here) but basically the car has not idled in 5 weeks or so because of waiting on parts and weather (one place took 3 weeks to send me my timing belt stuff).

I know I am getting fuel as the plugs and tops of the pistons are wet and I know all the timing marks are aligned as I have kept checking. So here are the questions.

The I put everything back in alignment because when the belt was removed everything was not at TDC, should I have to take my CAS off and readjust it or should it still be ok?

The car has 1050cc injectors in it and am waiting on DSMLINK right now (Should be in tuesday), before I was just letting it idle with a MAFT doing the correction and it would idle fine but wasn't driving it for obvious reasons. The MAFT green led doesn't seem to come on anymore.

Possible that the MAFT has stopped working and is no longer correcting for larger injectors thus wetting out the spark?

Going to check for spark in the morning when I have a friend to lend a hand. Any other suggestions, I have read the no cranking diag thread but was wondering if I would have to reset the CAS.

do you have a set of stock injectors lying around that you could use? if the maft isnt correcting for the larger injectors you could be washing the cylinder walls with fuel.

Unfortunately no stock injectors sitting around, the plugs were fairly moist so if I am getting spark we can assume that it is washing out is my best guess.

I would wait until you can pull some of that fuel to get it started.

The only thing that is really getting to me is that before the timing belt change it would crank and idle. Now nothing.

Well, had a friend come give a hand and have spark on all cylinders. Pulled the harmonic dampener off again and went to check timing and with him watching the cams (they are aligned perfectly to the center of the bolts with dowel pins up) the crank is a tiny bit off, maybe 1 tooth off.

Worth trying anyway, going to pull tension on the belt and move it over one tooth (the arrow is semi aligned with the notch but is not dead on) then give it a go. Started raining so had to button it up till later.
