Recently did some work on my mother-in-law's car. Not a Celica, but a '99 Camry with a 5S so it should be close enough that diagnosis on here may be helpful. I replaced the head gasket, put on new timing belt and water pump, got everything back together and now the car just won't start. At first it would start to hit on ether, but then it eventually quit with that so at this point it may be flooded out, but not entirely sure. I am wonder if its possibly not getting fuel. Timing is good, did it by the book and i checked everything half a dozen times to be sure. It has compression and is also getting spark. Any ideas as to what would cause it not to start and/or how to remedy a possibility of air in the fuel lines? I can hear the fuel pump running after trying to turn the engine a few times, so it should at least be sending fuel up front, but I don't know if its getting to the injectors yet or not. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated and helpful.

Timing was down bc the engine has almost 300k miles and likely hasn’t been done since 100k Miles. Also water pump seemed to be failing, so may as well while I was in there. It was claimed to be over heating, but still capable of a 150+ mike drive with no problems, so I would assume that means it was just going higher than the halfway point on the temp gauge. Wondering about warped head, but really don’t want to tear it back down if I don’t have to.
