Hello everyone. I bought a 1995 probe gt for my first car a few months ago and it wasn't currently running due to the timing belt and the distributor. So i replaced them and ended up replacing the timing belt, distributor, water pump, oil pump, thermostat, air intake,spark plugs and a oxygen sensor and it won't start now. It did for a while but it quit all of a sudden. I am desperate. PLEASE HELP!!!! Its my first car and i just got my permit and i really want to drive it!!! Any responses appreciated. Thank you.

Make sure you are getting spark and fuel to the engine. Make sure the timing is correct. If you have all three, it has to run unless you have low compression.

Homer, have you checked into the ignition switch, all the relays, fuses, fuel filter, fuel pump? Fuel pump relay relays are under the hood ( I'm sure you know this already) but just in case.
