I checked the timing belt last night and it was off a tooth on the crank. So I redid it and put some oil in the cylinders and compression started at 120 and after cranking a while went up to around 170 or so in all four.

So it tried to start it and it fired a couple of times and then wouldn't fire anymore. So I'm thinking fuel now. I assume the oil in the cylinders ignited a few times and that was it? Link gives me a -1 for the injectors which should mean they are firing so now I'm reading on how to check them physically. My afpr shows fuel pressure is okay. I also blew a 100 amp fuse on the battery after cranking a while so I'm not sure if that's related.

My cas is working since it will cycle the pump when I rotate it by hand. I've got a cheapo harbor freight compression tester but I don't think that's the issue now.

Thanks for the respones, I'm getting a little frustrated at this point.
