My dad and I put a new gasket kit on my car and had to realine the timing belt wheels the best we could got the engine back together. Tried to crank the engine over but car wont start. I'm only getting a 12 code error.

You cannot kinda set the wheel right. This IS an exact science! Timing marks MUST be set on the timing GEARS. Not just close! You might want to check for engine damage now, if it's an interference engine, you will bend valves, or break guides if timing is set wrong!
