I felt that was appropriate.

 

hahhaha that's funny.

 

KiLLaSyN, how's it going so far??

 

not too good...i noticed that i only have two belts..now i dont kno if its the timing belt or what..idk if u kno wat the ka42de looks like but i have the belt on top..then the alternator belt.. then the missing one...the missing one is all the way at the bottom of the engine..idk if the belt on top is the timing belt or if the one all the way at the bottom is the timing belt and im missin it...i havnt yet checked the switch cuz i havent had time..but if nebody knos if im missing the timing belt would be good

 

okay, since youre an ubernoob, this is the 411. The KA motors dont have timing belts, they use chains. There should be 3 belts if im not mistaken, Alternator, A/c, And power steering. The a/c belt is adjusted on the bottom of the motor, which is probably the one youre missing... does the a/c work, or even have a compressor?

 

ok so yea im missing the a/c chain...yea it doesnt work...so ne other ideas of wat the problem mite b

 

okay so the car still isnt starting? Is it cranking over? When you put the key in "on", does anything come on? Does ANYTHING work?

 

yea the lights started working the dash works the windows and all the electrical stuff works..it started cranking over after i installed the new starter...it just never started i installed the starter correctly im positive i did...i tried a jump start and a push start and nuttin yet

 

also u sed that it uses chains rite...now r they actually chains because they dont look like chains they look like belts

 

well you cant see them without taking off the valve cover and/or the timing chain cover... theyre kept oiled all the time, so you cnat see them just looking under the engine bay.

So the engine is turning over but it wont start and run?

 

yea it cranks but it doesnt start or run

 

Okay, so to get you straight on this, because after reading your posts, you sound quite confused.

1) The Timing Chain is INSIDE the engine, under the valve cover.

2) What you are missing are BELTS. If a belt has slipped off, THAT would be why your car probably won't start. If all your electrical works, and the car won't turn, it's probably because you don't have your alternator belt on.

 

ok now i get the timing chain..but im missing the a/c belt..i have the alternator belt..its the a/c thats missing

 

this sounds real stupid but... if it cranks but wont run... is there gas in it??? and if there is fuel in the tank is the fuel pump working??? is the motor getting spark... you said you changed sparkplugs but are they getting spark???

 

Heres where having a buddy comes in handy. Have him sit inside and crank on the motor, while you take each spark plug wire off. See if theres spark, just dont do like a lawnmower and shock yourself to test it... its hella strong. Also, pull off the fuel line, either coming out of the filter, or going into it, and have your buddy put the key in the "on" position, the fuel pump SHOULD pump fuel to prime the cylinders. Check to see if your spark plug wires are on right, and that your engine is timed correctly. Ill try to think of some more stuff, but that should keep you busy for a while.
