Hi!

Hope someone can give me a hint of the problem..

Replaced the timing belt on my 1991 legacy 1.8, and while the belt was off the engine was rotated. Now the engine won't start, nothing.. I'm quite sure the belt is correctly installed, using the correct marks. I haven't touched anything else than the timing belt and the passenger side rocker arm , so this really bugs me :banghead:

 

Is it possible that the timing has been lost? The passenger side cam, where the distributor is located, has been rotated when the belt was off. But honestly, I don't see how this could cause a problem :-\

 

Hope you can give me a clue, I'm totally lost! And in need of the car as soon as possible!

 

Regards,

Simen, Norway

From what I know, the crank could be 180 out. You have to make sure the that the timing mark on the crank is at TDC, #1 up on compression stroke.

 

The cams won't go 180 out.

 

Is it possible you disconnected/damaged the crank or cam sensors? Look to make sure.
