I replaced the water pump, timing belt, ignition coils, spark plugs, battery, automatic shutdown relay, alternator, spark plug well o-rings, intake manifold gasket, valve cover gasket, and throttle body gasket. As I tried to start the car all it did was crank and crank but not start.

Hi,

Does it sound normal when cranking? Are you getting spark and fuel to the engine? Do me a favor. See if it starts a couple of seconds if you use starting fluid. If it does, then we know it is a fuel related issue. If it doesn't it's likely ignition or timing.

Here are a couple of links you may want to use in place of the starting fluid:

Also, if it is possible, record the engine cranking and upload it so I can hear it.

Take care and let me know if you have other questions.

Take care and God Bless,

Joe
