Car overheating replaced head gasket, timing belt, water pump. Getting good fire but no fuel have pressure to the rail but after cranking plugs are dry. Appears that injectors are not injecting.

Hi,

Are you certain the timing was correct when you replaced the belt? See pics 1 and 2 below and let me know.

Also, if you can, record it cranking and upload it for me to hear. I should be able to tell if the timing is off. Also, just to confirm, this is a single overhead cam engine, correct? If it is, we are safe. If it isn't and the belt broke originally, we may have internal damage.

Let me know.

Take care,

Joe
