[RS_SS69]

I just had to fix some stuff on my 85 t1 daytona and now the car wont start, I have fuel and fire but it still wont turn over, im pretty sure that the timing is right but still wont kick over, it ran rough a couple days ago and now nothing what the hell is happening?

Wouldn't be too surprised if you jumped a couple teeth on your cam sprocket. I'd do a timing check, as per the info on: thedodgegarage.com

If you have fuel and fire, then it is either compression or timing, and I'm sure it's not compression.

Thanks 90Acclaim I will check the timing tomorrow for the errors or the cam sprocket being a couple teeth forward.

By "it won't kick over" - do you mean the motor doesn't turn over when you turn the key to "start", or do you mean that the motor turns over, but doesn't start?

If the motor won't turn over, then it's most likely not a timing belt issue. What "stuff" did you just fix? It may help narrow down the problem - many of us have "fixed" things, only to "break" other things while in the process...LOL!!!

It could be that while you were working on the car, you pulled a wire off somewhere and missed re-connecting it, or had a loose wire that came off and you didn't notice. It could just be a ground didn't get hooked back up (check the fuel rail ground, harness ground, and intake to firewall grounds) or if the car is an auto, check to make sure your reverse light/nuetral start safety switch didn't pop off the tranny.
