Default VVTI LS400 Timing belt change and now no start but cranks.

I have a 2000 LS400 with 199,000 miles on it. I just did the timing belt service. I checked all my marks and rotated the crank and everything looks good. I am done and now when I try to start the car it just cranks. I currently have no error codes stored so I am kinda at a loss..

Any chance you forgot this simple piece?
The car won't start without it.
Ask me how I know...

Tell me about it! I may just get a oem belt I cannot get the timing to line up. I just verified the timing belt part number is the same for the two belts but the belt may be cheap.

I put this on but the wrong way! Thanks for your post I feel kinda dumb but it worked out for the best since the timing was off by one tooth anyway.
