Did you use you old starter? If you used the one that came with the engine try that one. Otherwise you must have missed attaching the wiring somewhere also check for fuses that may have blown during the swap. Check the 30 amp fuse #10 in the under hood fuse block, it controls the starter. If it good use a jumper to jump current to the gray/orange wire on the solenoid "S" terminal if the starter is good it will turn, if it just clicked check the battery cable going to the starter. I hope this helps, take care.

SOURCE: 1987 F150 302 ci. EFI, Automatic,

try over riding the starter relay on the fender ,it has one there right?. dont go to a mechanic yet. the engine aint seized. if it doesnt have this relay then i would get the alternator tested. if you want to test it yourself it can be costly for the right equip. autozone usually tests for free. i dont know were you live so if theres not an autozone. let me know if you cant get it tested.

SOURCE: HONDA CRANKS LIKE IT HAS NO COMPRESSION OR BROKEN TIMING BELT .

Remove the valve cover, and watch the cams while cranking it. My best guess is that one if them is not turning. This would explain why there is only compression in once cylinder. Sure the timing belt may be in tact, but if the cam guide pin is sheered off, and bolt that holds gear to the cam is loose, it will cause this.

SOURCE: engine cranks car won't start

Sorry..... 1 notch off is just not good enough. It has to be exact , then if it doesn't run start looking at other posibilities.

Remember that the camshaft turns twice eash time the crank turns once. The distributor rotor works off a gear on the cam.
Your rotor could be off a bit , or it could look exactly perfect the way it was when tou took it out , and still be 180 degrees off.
You have to get your engine to "top dead center" and make sure everything is the way it should be.

A timing chain ( or belt ) can cause permanent and fatal damage to the valve train and pistons in motors that are "interference engines" Find out weather yours is. In a non-interference engine , the clearance between the valves and the pistons is large enough to alow them to move out of time without crashing into each other. An interference engine is not so forgiving.

The fact that your engine cranks makes me hopefull that it is a non interference engine , and that damage has not been done.

Try to find a haynes manual for you vehicle , it will walk you through the steps for most repairs.

SOURCE: suspect 99 malibu broken timing belt

If its a 99 4 cyl 2.4 ltr it should have a timing chain. Check your PCV (positive Crankcase Ventilation) Valve. it should rattle when you shake it. sometimes you can clean it with carb cleaner. but for what they cost, just go buy a new one. When they plug up it doesn't let your crankcase breathe and you will start getting oil in your throttle body or carb. Gas engines don't like to run on oil for the combustion process.4 cyl engines dont have a pcv valve just the v6 motor...

My 2011 ford fiesta serpentine belt broke thru everything outta place I went in retimed it new cam and crank shaft sensors new knock sensors new throttle body and sensors and I few relays and fuses my car...

The serpentine belt has no bearing on the camshaft timing, so my guess is that you mistimed the camshaft timing for no reason.

The serpentine belt is external and is driven by the crankshaft and runs the alternator, the A/C, Steering Pump and water pump.

If your CAMSHAFT belt broke, the Ford Fiesta has an interference engine, so you have bent valves and damaged pistons.

How can I tell if my timing belt broke on a 2001 pt cruiser lights and radio work new battery 2 weeks ago

Your car has an interference engine, which means if the timing belt is broken, the pistons will strike the valves. If your engine turns over and there is no noise of internal metal-to-metal contact, your timing belt is not broken. If your engine does not turn over, and you suspect the timing belt may be broken, remove the valve cover and SLOWLY rotate the crankshaft a few degrees by hand, watching if the camshaft rotates. If the camshaft rotates, the timing belt is not broken.
You provided no information on why you think the timing belt may be broken, although you refer to having good electrical power. Does the starter engage? If not, it has nothing to do with the timing belt. Does the starter engage but the engine doesn't start? If so, timing is way down on the list of things to check. After checking spark, fuel delivery, compression, etc.

My ford fiesta 07 won't start new battery just makes noise turn the key

What noise does it make? That engine has a belt for timing and if it was never changed, it may have broken and it is a major issue. When you try and start it, if the engine just sounds like it is spinning then the belt is most likely the issue.

What is timing belt interval for 2006 ford fiesta?

If not in the owners manual, look in the maintenance guide. If it has a belt rather than timing chain, it will likely be in the 100,000 mile ballpark. Gates products lists engines that are subject to damage with a broken belt, and engines that require belt replacement. If you can't find your engine listed, it has a chain. www.gates.com to start

Car had been running fine, backfired once and lost a little power momentarily. Parked 24 hours,started right up but backfired and died. Now starts easily but dies without intense pressure on gas pedal.

Sounds like it's fouled a spark plug this happens as the plug wires fail and the power goes to ground instead of firing the fuel. The timing belt could have skipped time but the engine may run smooly but have very little power.65158335.jpgThe plug wires will act like what you say too.340881376.jpgThe boots get electrcal holes in them and they fire to the head instead of the fuel mixture and then it fires sometimes and throws everything of and they run very badly or not at all.

Timing belt broke. installed one but has no power but starts ok and idles rough. where can i get free diagram of how to set timine on my vehicle??

Did you recheck the (valve) timing marks after installing the new belt? On most vehicles, it is wise to turn over the engine by hand a couple of revolutions and recheck them before starting since it is pretty easy to be one notch off. I lowered the asking price (of $7000) by $3500 on a used vehicle some years ago since it had no accleration but lots of torque due to an improperly installed timing belt. I stopped on the way home and reset the belt and dorve on as a happy ****.
