Will timing being off make motor barely crank

THANK YOU MUCH

Ok jacobandnickolas I took out the synchronizer, it and the senser was both broke up in side baught new ones but I couldnt find the tool, so I marked the senser cap, the sync, and the motor, sat the motor to tdc using the crankshaft and a screwdriver in #1, put the new sychronizer in, it started drove around the block turned it off started it again drove around the block, turned it off wouldnt start the 3rd time, now it wont stay on time marks and I cant get it to start again, so I screwed up and dont know how to fix it, can you help

Ok, I now have the synchronizer tool it isnt any help, the directions say turn crankshaft till you have top dead center.I did, then put on the tool it will lock in vane I did. Then put in the motor I did. It looks like it is exactly the same way as the 1 I took out, in every way, unless im doing somthing wrong, why does the tool have 2 littel holes like the senser

I did everything right, finaly figured out the problem, car was starting 1 outa 10 trys, I had everything right evan without the tool the problem was the diagram.I had for the fire order wasnt right I was setting # 4 tdc #1 was actualy 4 plugs down in the same bank, I found a difrent diagram set tdc and it started right up and has started evrytime since, sounds good runs good but the timeing mark on the crankshaft isnt on its mark its on the outher side of the pully, so did the chain jump or is #1, #4, in one diagram it shows #1 being by the glove box, the outher diagram shows #1 being passanger side front towards headlight, if I use the diagram where #1 is to the rear of motor tdc the time mark lines up pretty close but car wont turn and eventualy will start 1 outa 10, but useing the diagram where #1 is passanger front of motor set tdc the time mark is on the bottom of pully but car starts, turns right over and sounds good runs good, should I try and figure it out or leave it alone its running good?Hmmm?

And thanks everyone, I was right told ya so

Senser and synchronizer was trashed put new ones in
