I. tried spraying some carburetor cleaner in intake because still have strong spark and it doesn't even effect it . The rotor is turning if it wasn't I would think it was timing belt that's the way it sounds like turn over.

Hi,

Is it possible for you to record it cranking and upload it for me to hear? The idea that you have spark and fuel (carburetor cleaner) and it doesn't start sounds like a timing issue or a sudden compression issue.

Are you sure the wires were replaced to the correct cylinders?

Let me know.

Hi Joe,

It sounds like a plan. Also, if you can let me know what color the spark was when trying to start it, that may help as well. You want the spark to be a snapping blue color. If it is orange or white, it may be too weak to start the engine.

Let me know.
