Hey everyone, so I am completely stumped now.

after fixing all my major oil water and timing problems, I go to start the car, and it just turns and turns and turns but doesn't actually run... I know my timing is correct.

I've changed the coil wire out, the distro cap, and igniter. just to see if those could cause the problem. I test for spark and fuel, both are fine. I even put fuel into the intake and still nothing.

also, I am sure I only unplugged the radiator. It would start like two weeks ago... I don't get it.

does anyone have any Ideas? frown.gif I just want to get my car running again...

Kevin

If the car ran before and you did the timing belt, and now it wont start, then your timing belt is 180degs off.
We had the same problem with my friends rebuild after he decided to install the timing belt on his own. He had the belt on and everything seemed like it lined up, but the car wouldn't start because he didn't set the belt with the first cylinder at top dead center.

You have to insert a stick or something into cylinder 1 and rotate the crank until lines up at the zero mark with the cylinder at top dead center. Then check to see how your timing belt is lined up on the cam gears. Its really easy to over look this because the match mark will also read zero when cylinder 1 is at the bottom of the compression stroke and this will cause your car not to start.

Don't use RTV on the oil pan. Use the Toyota FIPG sold at the dealer. RTV is good for some stuff but always leaks on the oil pan.
