Need a Spot
Here's the story. My wife, Daughter and I were driving and the heater core blew out. I bypassed it with some heater hose, filled the radiator and was on my way. After flushing the system, I now had a leak in the water neck area and the radiator. I then replaced the radiator, water pump, thermostat, all hoses and the heater core. While I was in there, I changed the timing belt and pullies (gates kit). The truck cranks and cranks, sputters and dies, now it won't even sputter. I know the timing is on since I followed the kiatechinfo site to the "T" so the the timing should be on. I replaced the coils last summer and the fuel filter at the same time. The truck will not start. I replaced the fuel pump since I could not here it pressurize with the access door off. I can now here it. It still will not start. The injectors are reading 15ohm at the injector, book said it wants 12, is this out of spec? should I replace the pressure regulator or should I be looking at the cam sensor? I'm ready to push the thing off a cliff. I have lots of experience with Nissan v6's and chevy v8's, this thing is killing me. I would have posted this in the Kia site but I can't log on (password needs to be reset along with my new E-mail address) I'm hoping Axeman is out there. He has been of great help before. Thanx

I will suggest that you go back and check your timming belt very carefully. It was apparently running fine until you changed the timming belt. You can put a little fuel in the intake manafold and it should fire, be carful not to flood the engine.

The timing is on, the truck cranks and cranks, any other ideas?

Body Damage is Cool
Go back and check all the wiring and ground wires. When I did my first timeing belt I left off all the ground wires that go under the batery tray. Mine did the same thing but after I found the ground wires it started right up and ran like new. I hope that helps, other than that I cant think of anything.
