Kitchener,
I am having issues here timing belt is new so thats not it, I have spark, and I am getting fuel but the car won't fire.

It turns over but it just won't fire. It doesn't even get a change in sound when I crank it... any ideas lmk.
 
ok so you just did a timing belt and it wont start afterwards?

if you did a timing belt, to get the cover off you have to pull the crank sensor, look at the top area of the timing cover for a connector coming out and see if its plugged in.
 
LOL Actually the timing belt was done about 50km ago it worked good I brought the car home parked it and it was VERY low on gas, but I put $5 in on the way home wasn't far... anyway the fuel pump wasn't getting power when I went to start it up again, and there was no spark got a new ecu mpi relay and the car had spark So I find a broken wire for the fuel pump fix it fuel pump works

I was like FINALLY time to let her rip goto start.. .nothing... I was like WTF... so I opened up the gas tank today and there is NO fuel in it LOL

So I put some gas in it and boom :p
I feel dumb, but the pump was dead for awhile. Anyway thx for the space.
