94 Taurus SHO 3.2 NO START

[pitbull3825]

I purchased this car last week. Was told it needed the timing belt replaced. I did that plus removed the broken bolt that the tentioner was mounted with. I was told the car has sat for quite a while. It may have bad fuel in it. But it seems to have spark and then not have spark. New plugs and ignition lock cylinder.It has RPM's when cranking and oil pressure. Any one know what else I should check

I take it that you've never had the car running. Is this correct?

Was the timing belt broken? I believe that the SHOs are an interfearence engine meaning that the engine will be destroyed. FYI

Did you make sure that the timing marks were lined up when you put the belt on?

Does the engine have spark, fuel, and conpression?

Are you getting any noise out of the intake or exhaust?

This might get you a start....(pun intended)
