Thanks, It wasn't running before. I double checked the timing belt it's right and it just makes a spinning, whining noise when I turn it over. It tried to start a little after I replaced injectors or sounded like it wanted to. But still nothing. It has compression and I've just about given up. I'm clueless on what else to do. Thanks for your help
