I have a 1997 Cadillac Catera and i just replaced the head gaskets everything is completed and went to go turn the car over and it will crank but will not start. I have spark and have fuel, no codes in the system. I want to say it is the timing. How do you set the timing on that car?

Hi there,

The ignition timing is set by the ECU and is not adjustable, i would be re checking the valve timing.
