Please help... no start after timing belt install - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Ok, i just replaced the timing belt, cam seal, crank seal, and oil seal and o-ring on my friend's 94 celica (5SFE). Now i have a no crank, no start situation. I made sure all electrical connections were plugged in. The batter reads 12.26v.

the thing that confuses me is i didn't mess with anything on the starter side of the engine. all fuses check out good. Any thoughts. thanks in advance!

So, I'm guessing you only replaced the front crank seal and not the rear?
Does the started engage at all? Clicking sound? Engine turn over?

thanks for the reply. no clicking noise, starter not engaging, not turning over. And that's correct, I didn't change the rear crank seal. however, the clock dims when i try to start the engine.

ok, no problem. put a new battery in and it started right up. thanks for all the help!

OK, I was about to say, it doesn't sound like the starter is getting any power.
Glad it worked out for ya.
