After replacing a broken belt and set the timing, it does not start?

Belt broke, set the timing, and replaced the belt. I tried to start it, it has no fire, it does have compression. The engine will turn over. I have not put everything back together. I just have the timing belt on. Also, it has eight spark plugs.

Hi,

Is the crankshaft position sensor installed yet? Take a look at the pic below. If that isn't reinstalled, you won't have an ignition spark to the plugs.

Let me know.

Hi,

No problem whatsoever. I'm interested in knowing if that is where the issue is coming from, so let me know when you can.

Take care,

Joe
