Can someone help me , trying to found out why my car still not starting ,

r321jzgtr

im not a lexus guru to say the least, but i would first check with the basics

battery conection
loose ground
loose/ dirty maf or connection
recheck the position of the crank and cam gears
try starting the car in the neutral position
check connection to the starter/alternator
pretty much just trouble shooting anything you might have removed/touched/bumped

sorry i cant help more then that, let us know if any of this helped or when you find the fix please.

when you say not starting, does it crank or is it cranking but not firing up?

DukeHarvey

@ cschroder ...Its not firing but i know i set the marks on the timing belt right , but now i dont know what it is, it trying to start but it won't catch

You need to give us more info, was the car starting before you did the timing belt ? You did say it still doesn't start

DukeHarvey

My car jump timing , the four bolts that was on my cams was out and it punch a hole in my cover ,so i had to replace the bolts ,

Man sounds like you bent some valves You should check your compression on all cylinders before you do anything else

DukeHarvey

DukeHarvey

Thank alot

if it "jumped time" there is about a 99% chance that you bent some valves, but you may have won the timing lottery and nothing is wrong. One or two ribs off on any pulley is a disaster. go to www.tradebit.com, do a search for the manual and download it. Set the timing and then do a compression check. I think the manual on tradebit.com is only 8 dollars. I have already posted a pdf of the timing belt changing procedure here on craigslist, just search my userid. I will follow that up here with a post of removal and reinstall of the cams. That is where the instructions are to set the timing from scratch, it is not organized like that you have to go through the all the pages and use the information you need. there are no step by step instructions on resetting the timing. right in the beginning there are instructions on checking valve lash clearance, is shows how to make sure you are on top dead center, then later it shows how to set the timing on the cams in the section that includes cam removal and reinstallation.
