First off i have a 95 GSX with 105k on the motor i replaced the timing belt on the car and now it wont fire. The motor Cranks over and there is no abnormal noises coming from the engine. I have taken off the timing belt 5 times now and retimed it every time and it still wont fire i need help.
 
Bent vales bro samething happen to my gsx you might didt time it right the first time. I have a 95 gsx too but i could heard them explosions and nuthing my even had the spark plug crush.
 
^^Ah could be but very unlikely youd hear it ticking against them and odds are if he timed it properly the first time the teeth wern't far enough off to crack against the pistons even if they were a bit off.. More info. was the car running before you changed the timing belt?? How did you change it did you follow the procedure in the Vfaqs hear on the site?? Did you reset the ECU afterward sometimes this will help and did you set the ignition timing??
 
Just a thought....
95 should have a cam and crank sensor. Did you unplug them to get the covers off and forget to reconnect afterwards? If they are plugged in, check spark, perhaps you pinched a wire?
You will have to get the cam/crank relearn done once she is running again, as the computer needs to know you changed the timing (even tho it is ever-so-slightly)
 
if you have a sensor on the cam sprocket and put one of those magnetic trays near the cam gear that holds the sensor that screw me over it took a long time and a lot of money to figure that out so if you took that gear off and put it in one of those trays or put the tray on the gear that can be your problem good luck

PS it was the gear not the sensor that got f- up
