I am trying to replace my timing belt in my 1998 limited 3.4l.
The first time I put it back together I didn't realize i had to have the cr mark in the timing belt lined up with the notch on the crank key, also I crimped the cam position sensor in between the fan bracket, and the wires were split and hard like it was heated. I replaced that with an ntk sensor.
I also replaced my crank position sensor with a denso one, because the plastic basically crumbled in my hand trying to remove it.
On my second attempt to put it back together the middle of my harmonic balancer broke off when I tried to crank the engine, so I replaced that with one from rock auto.
A couple weeks before I started this job I replaced my $20 fuel pump with a denso and it worked flawlessly.
With everything back together it still won't start, it cranks around 165rpm according to my obd2 reader. I read on this forum you need 250rpm to start it.
I am getting spark and can start it for a few seconds with starting fluid(engine sounds way better than before I did the timing belt)
I for some reason am not getting fuel, I opened the line before the fuel filter and cranked the engine and nothing came out.
I have checked fuses and swapped efi relay with pwr outlet relay and swapped cor relay with tail relay.
Any input on what to check next is appreciated.
