Hello, my car has new battery, starter, alternator and ignition switch. Yesterday I had the head gasket, timing belt and water pump replaced and started up fine.

Hey Alex,

Thanks for the video, sounds like it has good compression so we can rule that out. Can you turn the key to the on position without cranking engine over to see if you can hear the fuel pump in the tank kick on for five seconds? Here is a guide that will help us get started:

The fuel pump turns on. As I was in the car I decided to see if the car would turn on and it started right up. Not sure what caused it not to start.
