98 Honda Accord 2.3L EX Auto.
I just installed a new timing belt, a water pump, and a balancer belt. Everything is aligned with all the marks on the pullies and engine block. I put the camshaft on TDC with "UP" at 0. For some reason, the car won't start up. Did I miss something?
Thanks.

Did you open the distributor and make sure it points to the #1 cylinder?
Did you rotate your engine by hand and make sure all marks are still correctly lined up with rotor still pointing to #1 cylinder?
