Ok, so now my issue is that the car won't start.

As I said in my other thread, I re-did the timing/drive belt, thermostat and water pump.

And now the car doesn't start, and cranks slower than normal.

After checking a plug for spark, and finding one (and no continuity in the wire that goes from the coil to the cap) I replaced the wires, distributor cap and rotor. However, I re-checked for a spark (turned off the lights in the garage, and it was pitch black, so I would be able to see any spark/light), and saw NONE.

Tomorrow I'm going to check the coil directly, and see if I can see a spark.

I did test the coil, and I *think* the ignition coil read .07 OHMS, or maybe it was .7, either way it was above the #'s that I'm fairly certain I read that would signify a working ignition coil (I think it was 0.00-.05, or .0 and .5).

The other options I'm hearing could be an issue are the cam sensor or the ignition control module.

Is there something else I could be missing? The car ran fine before I re-did the timing belt (as I said in the other thread)
