Turn the key it made a winding noise so I replaced the starter. That didn't solve problem. So I took engine apart found out timing chain jumped and cams were off time. So I replaced timing chain and tensioner. Then realigned cams and put crank in top dead center. This unfortunatly didn't solve the problem. Still same winding noise when trying to start.
Try this procedure usually works:
·Check the battery cable connections:
Make sure the negative cable makes a good ground connection at the battery and (preferably) at the engine. Make sure the positive cable, makes a good connection at the battery and at the starter.
·Check the battery the simple way, like this:
Turn on the headlights, then try to start the car.If the headlights do not dim or go out, then the battery is likely ok.
·Check the starter and solenoid:
If the wiring looks ok, then look at the starter solenoid for a good connection, and proper voltage at the starter(10 volts minimum while cranking).
If the starter spins and no crank, the problem is most likely the Solenoid's pinion gear is stuck.
Have someone hit (not too hard) the starter while you try to start the car. This usually works by dislodging a stuck pinion gear.
·Make a simple test of the alternator:
If you can, somehow get the engine running, measure the voltage at the battery. It should be at least 13.6 volts to properly charge the battery.
I think you have damaged valves but no make and model stated
SOURCE: in replacing engine timeing belt,
no you will bend valves if not carefull. you can only turn over from crankshaft if timing marks were in correct position in first place.
SOURCE: I have a ford f-150 and the timing chain guide was
It is possible but I would check the timing again it's easy for the gear to move, had a toyota in the other day and he did his own belt change and it was perfect except he was two teeth off on the left cam and it had no power. put it on #1 TDC compression stroke and look at the marker on the crank and put some compressed air in lightly then see if you hear air in the exhaust or intake if you do then it's tear down time if not then check the sensor but really don't think thats what you did. Did you forget to hook up a wire someplace? I have done that upon occasion when inturpted by the phone or coustmer.
SOURCE: 95 F150 wont crank
the starter should be replaced. The solenoid is kikcing the pinion out but there is no contact being made to turn the starter motor. I have the exact same truck and before i changed the starter used the old starter tap trick. Tap the starter casing with a hammer and it should start turning again. hope this was helpful for you. Good luck.
SOURCE: i replaced the water pump
make sure you can turn engine over by the crank bolt this will make sure engine is free and not bound up. if it will turn then check wiring at starter make sure everything is tight.
SOURCE: I have been advsed that I have a broken timing
I am assuming you have the 2.2L 4 cylinder engine. The timing chain tensioner on these engines is nororious for failure resulting in jumped timing. Be advised that depending upon the situation, you may have sustained major engine damage. If the timing simply jumped when turning the engine off, you may be safe, but if it occurred at highway speed, there is a high probability that there is valve damage in the engine that will need repair before you can move on to the timing chain and tensioner. As far as "other components", if your know that the head is ok, then you should replace the timing gears, chain, and tensioner. Also purchase a "timing gasket set" which will give you the gaskets ans seals you need to do the job.

Thanks guys for your help it did happen when I turned the car off and the type of engine I have the valves can't be harmed however I will take your advice on checking crank sensor and cam sensor.; thanks again to everybody who wrote back much apreciated
