The alternator on my car died suddenly weithout showing the battery light at all,(I took it to a parts shop and they confirmed that it was dead).I got it hooked back up and the battery charged and now the (expletive deleted) thing won't start. Cranks over just fine but won't start. Any ideas?

You bumped the (expletive deleted) (expletive deleted) on the (expletive deleted) ignition controller while removing the (expletive deleted) alternator. Now the (expletive deleted) thing won't spark worth a (expletive deleted). If you run battery hot to a little (expletive deleted) connector with a blue (expletive deleted) wire just above the (expletive deleted) head on the (expletive deleted) firewall, you can (expletive deleted) crank it from under the (expletive deleted) hood. Just wiggle the (expletive deleted)(expletive deleted) plug on the (expletive deleted) ignition controller.

Are we feeling better now? That's a lot of work to tell someone to try using the test connector, especially if they don't know what it is ...

Any spark? Fuel pumps working? Timing belt okay? (look through the oil filler and see if the camshaft turns while cranking engine) Main fuse (near battery) clean and okay? I think we need a little more information here ...

All fuses are intact, all connections are connected. I didn't look to see if the cam is turning or if there is spark. Unfortunately, I work alone. I must admit though, it seems strange that the belt would break between shutting it off when I got home and starting it up 2 hours later.
