I put a new timing belt on it tried to start a couple times but now nothing it just turns over. What could be the problem?

Hello,

Could you please ensure that the timing marks on your crankshaft and camshaft sprockets are aligned up? In the diagrams down below I have included diagrams of an exploded view of the components of your vehicles timing system as well as how to align your crankshaft and camshaft sprockets correctly. Please check it out and get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
Alex

Hello again,

Did you remove your vehicle's Crankshaft Position Sensor when you were doing the timing belt, by chance?

Thanks,
Alex
