I have an 86 300, N/A Automatic 140xxx miles. A few months ago my grandad was driving it and the timing belt slipped due to sheared teeth. Broke it down, timed it, and replaced the belt. (No internal damage luckily) and now it wont start. So far Ive replaced the fuel temperature sensor and battery. Any ideas?

Could be that the timing isn't quite right (off by a tooth or 2)

You say no damage from belt stripping, have you had the heads off to check? Are you sure you got the belt on right? It's really tough to get the crank gear in the right spot wiht the engine in the car. Has the car run since the belt stripped?
