Exclamation 3 door won't start!

i have replaced the cams, tappets, gaskets, cam bearings, all belts, spark plugs, cam pulleys, i think that's it!

i have timed up the engine all markers are exact including the distributor.

i numbered the ignition leads before i took it apart and replaced them back.

i turned the engine round with the spark plugs in and the spark leads off for 20 seconds.

have i just flooded it?

any ideas?

thanks

You might well have done.

Why did you do that? where you trying to build up oil pressure? If so, next time dis-connect the injectors too

is there deffo fuel coming out?

remove and plug and it will be wet if you have flooded it

if thats the case, remove all plugs and leave it for a bit

if no fuel the cut off might have tripped?

the crank sensor has not been replaced.

the auxilary pulley was out by three teeth so i obviously put it back to the correct timing position.

thanks for all your help!

Did you check the rotor arm/phase alignment was correct after the belt change, as you turned the dizzy/aux shaft.

according to the manual, the distributor arm lines up to the side of the distributor body perfect.

thanks
