Finished up the water pump job and my car wont start. I replaced the water pump, Camshaft position senser, and crankshaft position senser. I put the timing back correctly, bolted down the crossover tube. It seems to me i did everything correctly. Any suggestions on what to do next?

Assuming that you removed the crossover tube, make sure it's probably grounded to the intake FIRST! If not, it'll crank all day. And as stated above, if you didn't gap the CPS properly, that may as well be the culprit. Good luck!

Make sure you plugged the CPS in, also. Just rethink what you did and didn't do, it's probably something simple that you forgot about.

Glad you found the problem. I would also check that CPS gap if you didn't already. :thumb:
