SO I had to replace my timing belt on my 86 2.3 FI and beforehand it was running great. Now when I try to start it it just sits and turns over. I have the #1 at TDC, ive checked that 3 times now, I am getting spark from the Coil to the distributor and the dist to the plugs, all tested with an in line spark tester. The plugs are wet when I pull them out after cranking. The ONLY thing I can think is that the cam sprocket when lined up with the triangle needs to be turned 180 degrees. Would that make a difference? Is the exhaust valves closed on one 360 degree spin and open on a second? I cannot get this thing to start. New plugs, coil, wires, distributor, cap, rotor. I am at a total loss.
