do the lights work?

 

[VR-4Squid]

Does it have a spark?

Does it have fuel going in?

are these events happening at the right time?

does it have compression?

if so, it'll run - so which part of the equation is missing?

 

[rob323]

Is it an electrical problem (no power from the battery) or is it a mechanical problem?

If mechanical, first thing I would do is to take the timing belt cover off and make sure the belt is ok before cranking it over anymore (you need to crank it to do a compression test).

Was there a MASSIVE tapping/crunching noise since you've been turning it over?
If there was it is probably time for a new timing belt aswell as some new valves.

get your ass over here and get this coil pack off me..

and check the baterry that you recently moved..both terminals.
wire brush them and fit em back up tight

rightio..

 

[Jonson]

Do NOT do that.

Do not crank the car over again until you have checked your belt timing.

 

[mr_silver_vr4]

help

timing belt is still in tact, im leaning to a mechanical short or ecu AGAIN!

Check your battery terminals and battery

 

[joe-ness]

take your oil cap off and see if there is any milky colour ... if it was spark the car will mist likly run but like shit and also sound like shit
