new timing belts and tentioner

can someone tell me how to figure this out thanks
 
Coolant temp sensor when it goes bad it tells your ECU its like -42 degrees outside and it adds a ton of fuel. So if it cranks and cranks and finally starts I would look into that. Maybe a wire is broke or something.
