So I had the timing chain and all timing tensioners and timing gears, seals, gaskets, and sensors replaced. Now when go to start car all it does is crank. The pulleys all turn with the serpentine belt, I have spark however it will not start. Also had starter tested, it tested okay.

Good afternoon,

Why did you replace the belt?

It sounds like there is no compression. You need to test the compression.

I attached a YouTube video for you to view of the procedure.
