1990 Toyota Corolla 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

i asked about my car not starting yesterday and I have fuel pressure, I have spark, I have compression, timming is on but it still won't start. Every thing checks out could their be a sensor or a emissions problem keeping it from starting

Check the timing belt by removing the valve/cam cover. It should be changed every 60K.

Nice shot but it's new changed before problem. And timming is right on checked that too. Even tried new plugs and starting fluid. And all I got was a hesitation. I don't have much hair left

Rotate engine to TDC #1 using timing marks on balancer.

Remove the dist. Cap and rotor should be pointing to #1 spark plug wire?

Relay in large box in engine compartment labeled "engine main", make sure it clicks when engine is trying to start.

Generally if a sensor is out of range, the check engine light is on?
