Well I replaced the water pump belt and also fixed cracked timing belt sprocket on my 2g and somehow the timing got way off in the mix. Gave it one crank started right up but didn’t idle very nicely turned it off immediately. You can see from this video my Tdc on top are off. I’m guessing my timing belt sprockets got misaligned as well as my crankshaft pulley. Before I blow this bitvh thru the roof any tips on what I should do and how to properly make sure this all goes togther right this time.

You now have the cylinder #4 in compression stroke. Rotate the crank 360 degree more to make the cam dowel pins up, at around 12 o'clock to make the cylinder #1 in compression stroke.
After one more 360 degree crank rotation, align the crank timing mark and don't change the crank position, and then take a pic or video straight at entire cam gears regardless of the position of horizontal timing marks on cam gears. No need to force the cam gear's timing marks to be lined up. Because that cam gear's position is the valve timing you have now and that's what we need to check.
