Hi theriv0920,

After replacement of timing belt, was it easy to start normally and was there any power loss compared to before replacement?

With sparks and fuel present and no start, there are a few posibilities,
1. Weak spark, ignition coil is bad. Spark color must not be dull orange, should be bright blue
2. Valve out of time, improperly done timing belt replacement.
3. Loss of compression, possibily valve seats contaminated due to carbon deposits.
