Re: dead in the water. wiring, timing belt? 200 85

Since I don't know your exact current status let's do the basics:

1) Timing belt there, but: got spark? Use a plug wire, rag or clamp and old plug, etc to see if spark jumps 1/16" or so. (avoid 50,000 Volts if possible) If you got spark...good, see below...if not get back with me.

2) Got fuel to the fuel rail/injectors? Partially disconnect and wrap with rags and have a friend crank car. You'll know really quick if fuel is there. Don't smoke cigars. Avoid a big engine fire.

Basics...if these things are OK, then we'll start the rocket science.
