ok heres the deal, this is a 94 gt (2.2l) i had to change out the oil pump gasket since it was leaking about 2 quarts a day, while i was in it i changed the tiiming belt also. I had the marks lined up, and while i had the covers off and motor mount etc off i cranked it up to make sure i had it set right. Well it started up fine. So, i put everything back together and now it wont start. It spins over but makes no attempt to fire up at all. So far ive checked fuel pressure (good) , spark is correct ( i pulled a wire to make sure it was working) , and double checked timing by putting the crank mark on 0 and checking the rotor button. So i have spark fuel and air, but still no startup. Currently im into the computer wiring hoping i may have stretched or pulled a wire loose somewhere, and that is taking forever. Has anyone had this problem before? the computer isnt throwing any codes (i cant really crank it anyway so it stays in open loop), so i dont really know what to do except go one wire at a time and try to find a missing link. If u guys have any suggestions it would be appreciated, thanks

Update: after tossing a few new parts at it i finally got it going, turns out it was a bad coil, the ohm test didnt show it, and the pull&ground the plugs test showed the plugs sparking blue so for a while i ruled the coil out. Why the coil went bad at that time I don't know, i wasnt even working on that side of the motor .. Thats what threw me off in the first place because i thought i may have stretched one of the wires in the harness or something. Anyhow its good to go now no problems at all and thanks guys for your input.
