Is it okay because i'm getting confused I know it says mark 1 link as crankshaft and than count 29 links mark as exhaust mark count to 42 mark as intake. The thing about it is what mark do I line it up to do I line it up to the keyway mark or this other timing mark. When I tried to line it up with the keyway one there was more than 29 links to get to the exhaust mark

You have to have the exact amount of links to set the timing correctly. Start over and keep trying to get it right

Another thing to add when I connect my scanner to read codes and pull up information it doesn't even read the vehicle it say please turn on ignition key and try again. Does this mean my car computer system isn't working

Most likely you have a wiring fault. Recheck all the fuses and ensure the anti-theft is not triggered. If it is, it can cause non-communications.

You have a power supply fault and nd should be checking the fuses, especiallym the fusible links. You need to test them, not just visual inspection.

Try this and see how the odometer shows. If it does not show anything you could have a blown bulb.

Self Diagnostic Mode

To enter the instrument cluster self diagnostic mode with the engine off, depress and hold the trip/odometer reset button. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position and hold until tESt appears in the display area (within five to eight seconds). Once the tESt
appears release the trip/odometer reset button within three seconds. Depress the trip/odometer reset button once to advance to each stage of the self-test.

Turn the ignition to the OFF position to exit the instrument cluster Self-Diagnostic Mode.

Yes, seems you have a vacuum leakages somewhere and if the noise is loud, it should be easy to detect. Vacuum leakage causing difficult starting are usually between MAF and throtttle plate, meaning the air hose.

Check the Park and Neutral Position switch located at transaxle, at gear shift lever. Does the gears engage though they are not showing?

Okay I fixed the gear shift it works now it seems that the link came off and the vacuum leak I fixed also but there is a loud squealing sound coming from the water pump side it isn't the belt, its not the belt tensioner, it seem to be coming from the camshaft pulley on it whenever I rev the engine the squealing gets louder I took the belt off to see if any change and thats how I knew it wasn't the belt. Any ideas could it be that the pulley that goes onto the camshaft is loose
