vissine Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I removed the timing belt to replace camshaft and crank seals. Everything went fine and I checked all the marks lined up correctly after 2 - 4 turns. However, the starter runs but engine does not crank. I have to admit that I forgot to record location of the distribution rotors but from the tutorial document online, I correctly follow the pictures ( attached pictures is from my car). What should I do next? Back to remove the timing belt again or troubleshoot if the fuel line has problem? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sha4000 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Did you make sure that the cam and crank sensors are plugged in? When you say " Does not crank " what do you actually mean? Is the engine turning but just will not start? Lastly are there any codes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lastly are there any codes? sha4000, you are correct, the engine is turning but will not start. I did not hear any spark. No codes were read. I show the picture above because I was not sure (at the time) if I installed them correctly. I later found out that the instruction on Lexls was incorrect. The contact points (wire) should be at the yellow arrows (not at the opposite position as shown in the picture below). After fixing the errors, my car is running normal now. If I had taken pictures of the distributor rotors when taking them off, I would not have any issue. The positive outcome from this is I feel more confident with timing belt work since it is more straight forward. Thank you for getting back to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
