SOLVED. See Post #19

Ok,

1992 Geo Metro 1.0, automatic

Today I cleaned the engine bay. Then, I replaced the cam seal, timing belt, distributor seal.

The geo will not start now. I am getting gas and fire. Do you think I got water some where or it is a timing issue?

On the timing issue - I was VERY careful not to mess it up. IF, I had one tooth off on the timing belt, shouldn't it still run? I noticed that the distributor will only go in one way and I am pretty sure that I installed it correctly.

Any ideas? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.
