Re: changed t.belt/car wont start
There are two things that are really common after changing the timing belt.
1) Timing. Easy to get overconfident and miss something without thinking about it.
2) Spark plug wires. They get taken off, and put back on, and a lot of times they get put back on in the wrong order.

Re: changed t.belt/car wont start
my friends car did that same thing, everything was TDC and it still didnt start. The dizzy was not on right, we took it off and we made sure it was on number 1 and it started right up. hopefully that will help you with your situation
