1991 dodge colt vista hard starting.
what your describing is bleed down. Usually it's a stuck open injector that is allowing the system to bleed down requiring you to turn the key on and off to recharge the fuel system with fuel. before it starts. A shop can verify which one or more is the culprit.
How do I release frozen front brake caliber on 79 dodge colt ?
Open the bleeder on the caliper, then using a large C clamp, clamp it onto the back of the caliper and the middle of the front pad. Tighten it to force the caliper piston back into the housing. If its really stuck you may need to use a bar on the C lamp handle to give you more leverage to get it moving. If the guides are really rusted try soaking with WD40 to free them up before applying pressure..
Timing belt
You don't have the tension right. Belt should be tight when tensioned, tight enough that it can't slip. I'm not familiar with this engine, but you need to find the belt tightening procedure.
Go to autozone.com, register for free, giving make, model, year, and engine size. When registered, look under "repair guides" for timing belt R&R procedure.

I accidentally removed the cables
if you remove the spark plugs and move the distributor cap so you can see the direction of rotation have someone crank the motor over is short bursts noting direction of rotation of the rotor and put your finger over the #1plug hole.when #1 comes up to top dead center you will feel pressure against it and hear a compression sound.then you can look into the cylinder and turn over the motor by hand and watch the piston rise in the cylinder until its at the top and doesn`t start to move down.this will be close enough.note were the rotor is pointing and this will be were #1 is on the distributor cap.then install the other wires in the direction of the rotor turning in the proper firing order.the order should be 1-3-4-2.
The serpintene belt is wrapped
If you have a serpintine belt you have a tenison pully. sorry do diagram but should be one under your hood somewhere, good luck to you.
I need the firing order
On the Dodge Colts the distributor turns counter clockwise and the firing order is 1-3-4-2.Also on some cars the firing order is stamped into the intake manifold.Im not possible if the Colt does .This is just for future reference.
