there is only a tiny little bit of fuel getting to the engine and wen we managed to get it started it ticked over at 500 and sounded very poorly | |

the crank shaft pulley has a marker and the cams should have a marker as well. make sure these lines up correctly. If they are, is it getting fuel through and are you getting a spark from the spark plugs? | |

what engine or car is it. there should be timing marks on the crank pulley and cam cover, as Dave A said. | |

check if the timing marks are aligned. it may just be slack because it hasnt been turned over. also, these engines can jump 3-4 teeth and still run! | |

we have now decided it could be the timing on my corsa to why it wont start as its gone really slack n maybe jumped a tooth does anybody have a diagram or now were the all the lines are ment to be to fit a new timing belt not sure if that makes any sense to anybody lol |
