:axe: :axe: stupid ass car aaaaarg, its a CA for everyone,
my fan belt snapped a little while ago resulting in my having to do some work on my engine, i replace my water pump, all my belts, thermostat, radiator and put on some electric fans this weekend. It all seemed happy until i tried to start the damn thing and now no dice.
When we removed the crank angle sensor to take off the front motor cover we marked its position. As we had to remove the timing belt to get the water pump out we reset the timing before starting the car as according to the manual i downloaded off the net, the two marks on cam gears and 90 degrees to the outside, and at equal heights with the first piston at TDC, does that make sense so far? We reinstalled the cam angle sensor according to marks and tried to start the motor, it cranks happily sounded like it was going to start and then nothing, since then it hasnt even sounded close to starting, ive checked to make sure im getting fuel, adjusted the crank angle sensor, dont really know how to check spark with coilpacks but if it almost started the first time im assuming its getting spark. Now what?
Oh and the motor was running when the fan belt snapped and i turned it off, it didnt die or anything.
