check if the cam sensor just under the water pump the connector damage or unplug

think you have not put the timing back right and it will need to be re done. hope you used a new belt and adjuster when you put it back together. you need to re line the timing marks on cams and on crank. then put the belt on adjust up making sure the number 1 piston is at the top as well as the timing marks on the cam check this with the crank making, put belt on and adjust up then turn engine one full turn. no spark plugs fitted. back to the timing marks making sure they line up if not re adjust the time until it line back up every time you turn the engine one full turn. then put the spark plugs in etc and start enging.

The ignition module is the part under the coil that the connector is plugged into. Remove the coil pack or coils depending on whether it's a magnovox ignition system. You will then be able to remove the module from the bracket. If I remember right there are three nuts that hold the module to the bracket on the underside of the bracket. A 10mm socket should work for these. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. Thank you for using FixYa.com!

Sounds like a bad starter. When a bad starter is cold, it will still start the car. Once warm, the starter requires more power to engage. Eventually, the starter will fail under all conditions but from what you describe, it certainly is showing all the signs of a bad starter.

sounds like the flasher in the fuse box you may have 2 //1 for blinker the other for 4 way flasher . turn on the 4 way flasher you will hear it clicking under the dash find it pull it out and find the other one that looks the same and swap them they should be sliver and round in the fuse box

put the battery on charge for a couple of days and try again ,could be a old battery or the alternator not charging or you have left the lights on maybe

What letters show? Is it a factory player or aftermarket? Do other CDs play in it? Mp3s?
