double check your timing

After changing my timing belt, I knew I had it right, but the car wouldn't start. I did a lot of cranking before I finally broke the golden rule of "Never push on the accellerator when the engine's not running" for a fuel-injected vehicle.
I started holding the accelerator down while cranking, and after a minute I heard my first cough, and then it started.
