I changed the timing chain on a 2000 Toyota Corolla that has a 1.8 liter engine in it. I set my timing marks according to the instructions I got from you guys and it still won't run. I've got fire, I've got fuel, and injectors pulsing. Still it won't run. Can you tell me what I'm missing?

I've reviewed B6 instructions and its to the T, you need to verify the valve and ignition timing. Did you put engine piston no.1 on its compression stroke/TD before you line everything up and put the chain on. Could be 180deg off

I rechecked the timing marks on the compression stroke and everything is correct. It's trying to crank but the injectors are still not pulsing. I've also replaced the crankshaft position sensor. What could be wrong now?

Your possibilities could be the input power to it or the computer injector ground driver circuit, wiring and if it has a camshaft sensor check that too.

I checked all my grounds and still the injectors will not pulse. Even after changing all the ground wires they pulse once and then quit. I put a diagnostic scanner on it and I get a code P1310(Mfr Ctrlled Ign Sys Or Misfire). Does that mean that the camshaft sensor is bad? If not, what could it be?
