Changed timing belt after it quit on me. Timing marks were all put back exactly true. It's firing to spark plug and pumping fuel to fuel rail.

Hi,

Did the prior timing belt break or jump time? I ask because this is an interference engine. If the belt broke, there will likely be internal damage to the valves and pistons.

Do me a favor. Record it cranking and upload it for me to hear. I can usually tell if there is a compression or timing issue.

If the belt didn't break or jump, take a look through this link and let me know if it helps:

I will watch for your reply.

Take care,
Joe
