On a 2003 dodge stratus 4 cyl 2.4L I changed timing belt and now the engine turns over but it won't start but kinda acts like it wants to. DOHC and timing marks on both cam sprockets and crank are set correct. Puleeeze help.

1. Cycle the ignition key ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON within 5 seconds.

Okay I posted this 3 days ago and so far nobody answered.
Doesn't matter cuz the problem is solved. I thought I would post this to help anyone else going through the nightmare of the timing belt on a 2.4 Litre DOHC dodge.
I ripped into this thing trying to figure out how it would not start but the motor was erratic as I turned it over.
What solved the problem was...
Remove the cam sensor on the end of the head - drivers side - turn the engine over a couple seconds - replace the sensor and start that puppy up YEAH.
Good luck.
