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.

Was the timing done because the engine overheated and blew the head gasket, or was it done because the timing belt snapped? If in the first instance the head, or possibly even the block, could be warped so they'd need decked to mate up evenly again. In the second instance even though it's a non interference engine if everything in the universe aligns just right to **** you over there have been instances of non interference engines sustaining valve damage when a belt/chain lets go because the intake and exhaust valves will crash into each other.
