I've recently had to replace the Head Gasget and Timing Belt (and while i was at it changed the Oil, Oil Filter, Air Filter) as it was leeking water into the engine.

We have put it all back together, but we now can't start the car, it doesn't sound too healthly when we try to start it either. It ticks over nicely and then will stop abrutly and then carry on, and then stop again.

We have checked Fuses, Leads, Charged the Battery, Checked for a Spark (and we have a Healthly Spark). And we are now stumped.

My personal veiw is that the timing is out (possibly by exactly 180 degrees) but my Dad is 100% sure that it is spot on. And to be fair I know very little about cars, and he knows quite abit.

Any ideas?
