Upper timing guide removal

[vegita319]

Ok, so i removed my upper guide on the side. that required i take off the distributor. after putting the car back up, it wouldn't start. It cranks and i turns over just that the thing won't start. I tried aligning the crank pulley at TDC and the distributor aligned with spark #1. I bought new rotor and caps for the distributor as well and i made sure there is spark. My number 1 spark is not as strong as my other ones but the wires and plugs still sparks. Im so stumped. I dunno how many times i've cranked and i've posted on club 240.com, and zilvia.net and i have no idea wat happened to prevent my car from starting. I also tried to push start the car to see if that will help and its still no go. I know its not the starter but the car turns over and cranks. Can anyone help me, I'd appreciate it if someone can help me since it is my daily driver and i'm currently borrowing my mom's corolla to drive to work and it sucks to borrow her car since she needs it to go wotk as well. Also heres the link to the other thread http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=60842 . Thanks alot if anyone can help me.:help

ok, start with first things first, is it getting fuel? check the fuel pressure and make sure the injectors are firing

next: make sure you have spark plugs gapped correctly

make sure you have the plug wires on the dist. right and its sparking at the right time

yeah, if you followed te link, it has alot of fuel in there. Could having alot of fuel in there causing it to not fire. Spark plugs are gapped to .043 so it up to spec and i have new spark plugs just in case.

anyways: yes, having alot of fuel can and will cause it not to start

I got it to work thanks. all i need to do was then the rotor 180 degrees more. Thanks to all those who helped me still. This is the main reason i read these forums all the time. Thanks again.
