Recently did some work on my mother-in-law's car. Not a Celica, but a '99 Camry with a 5S so it should be close enough that diagnosis on here may be helpful. I replaced the head gasket, put on new timing belt and water pump, got everything back together and now the car just won't start. At first it would start to hit on ether, but then it eventually quit with that so at this point it may be flooded out, but not entirely sure. I am wonder if its possibly not getting fuel. Timing is good, did it by the book and i checked everything half a dozen times to be sure. It has compression and is also getting spark. Any ideas as to what would cause it not to start and/or how to remedy a possibility of air in the fuel lines? I can hear the fuel pump running after trying to turn the engine a few times, so it should at least be sending fuel up front, but I don't know if its getting to the injectors yet or not. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated and helpful.

Well finally got the pigtail in for the temp sensor, its wired back up. And got a tester to do cylinder compression test. Results were not reassuring or I wasn't able to get the tester in the cylinders correctly. Only tested cyl 1 and 2, but both had results of around 60 psi. So what would cause such low compression? Head was torqued to spec when reinstalled, but could a bit more tightening help? We even used that copper spray stuff when we put the new head gasket on to help it seal better.
