I changed my serpintine drive belt that goes on the crankshaft, fan, and alternator pulley but ones I put everything back together it wont start? PS I forgot to disconnect the battery and the positive on the alternator touch ground could this be my problem?

 

does it turn over? if it does, how does it sound? Does it attempt to fire at all, or what?

 

I wants to start but I checked for spark and its not getting any spark I used a test light to check for spark and didnt get anything maybe I am doing it wrong?

 

Check ur fuses. If u shorted ur alt cable very well could of taken fuses.

 

Ok ill check them out right now the only fuse I really checked was the engine fuse because I have an electric fuel pump

 

All fuses are still good

 

Check for spark out of the coil.

 

I checked the coil and not getting spark from their either

 

Bump anything else while removing it?

 

Not that I can remember well anything electrical for that matter.

 

Take the the Dizzy cap off and see if the rotor is spinning

 

Ill check tomorrow morning and what if it doesnt spin? I heard if it doesnt spin then the timing belt/chain is broken?

 

Yeah you have to remove the valve cover to see. Most likely the chain is broken. Happened to me took me about a hour and a half to do the job not that hard of a job.

 

Also remove the negative for at least five minutes. See if anything happens then

 

Proably fried your igniter and coil

 

Ive looked of on youtube how an engine sounds with a broken chain and my truck doesnt sound like the chain is broken because it wants to turn over but I guess its not getting spark but I dont want to replace the igniter or coil if I am not 100% sure they dont work and thanx guys for replying I will check it out in the morning.

 

?

Doesnt sound like timing chain,might blew something

 

check the battery, check all grounds. if you moved ANY wire, check it. if you moved a bracket that something grounds to, check it. If you touched something, check it.

if all else fails, post some video of you trying to start it and we'll check it.

 

I checked today if my chain wasn't broken and it wasn't because I took the distributor cap off and when I tried turning it over it spins. And how do I post videos up on here?
