[Shotimes] Timing belt check

[Ron Childs]

I guess you could crank the engine and look in the oil filler hole to see if the cams turn. If it won't run, see if you are getting spark by pulling a plug wire and see if it will spark to a ground while cranking. Also, check for fuel pressure by pushing in the valve on the fuel rail and see if gas squirts out. 
 
If you pass these tests and still no start, I would do a KOEO test and look for clues in any codes that may come up.
