I just finished relaxing my timing belt, water pump and thermostat. I bought a kit that included the parts, plus new tensioner, serpentine belt, etc. After putting everything back together, I went to start the car and it cranks but will not fire up. Just a steady crank. Not even trying to fire up. Any ideas please?
Thanks

 

What flavor engine? Year? Are you sure you plugged everything back up?

 

Coil??

 

One coil per cylinder. Gotta have'em plugged up or no fire....

 

I plugged everything bagged in that I unplugged. I kept track of all of those. I didn't touch the coil or plug wires at all, is that something I would still look into anyways?

 

2.8l v6 1996

 

Pull one of the plugs and leave it connected to the wire. Lay it on the engine making sure the metal base of the plug is touching metal on the engine. Spin it over. Look to see if there is spark on the spark plug. DO NOT hold it in your hand or touch it with your bare fingers while spinning the engine over unless you like being shocked. LOL

Are you sure you locked everything down at TDC (Top Dead Center) on the timing marks before removing the timing belt? All the timing marks line up before you tensioned the belt?

 

Yes I bought a kit and rented all required tools from Blauparts to ensure job was done while at TDC

 

I'd go back over it with a fine tooth comb looking for something that is unplugged. Perhaps a cam sensor?
