car won't start

[tommyboy6]

i have spark and fuel, but it won't start. what is the last ingredient.

I don't know what the last ingredient is but you might have fuel but is it getting to the carb/throttle body. Meaning fuel pump, water in the fuel or fuel pump relay.

i overheated it like a month ago and it quit running as i was driving and the antifreeze steamed everywhere. after further inspection, my timing belt was broke as well as my water pump. i replaced them both and now it won't start. everything seems fine now, it is not seized so i don't know what is going on. i hope that this is enough info. also, sometimes while i am turning it over, it will crank and crank, not start, and then it will stop and then continue cranking. i hope that that helps. thanks.

Sounds like the starter is 'ka-put'. Have you tried getting a push?

who put on the new timing belts? sounds like its off a cog or two.

well i figured out the problem, it was that the timing belt was off and now everything is great, thanks for all of your help.
