Hello everyone. I bought a 1995 probe gt for my first car a few months ago and it wasn't currently running due to the timing belt and the distributor. So I replaced them and ended up replacing the timing belt, distributor, water pump, oil pump, thermostat, air intake, spark plugs and a oxygen sensor and it won't start now. It did for a while but it quit all of a sudden. I am desperate. PLEASE HELP! Its my first car and I just got my permit and I really want to drive it! Any responses appreciated. Thank you.

Make sure you are getting spark and fuel to the engine. Make sure the timing is correct. If you have all three, it has to run unless you have low compression.

Ok. Thank you very much. It turns out I had a bad crankshaft positioning sensor and I wasn't getting spark all the time. Thank you for your help.
