Now it cranks but wont start. The cam shaft gear is lined up at 12 o'clock, the cranksahft gear is lined up also. With the #1 cylinder at top dead center, the rotor is pointing at the #1 cylinder plug and the valves are closed. Anyone have an idea? This is a 1.6L 16 vlalve engine Loren Champlain Sr Veteran / Moderator Jan 16, 2009, 4:00 PM Post #2 of 5 (3709 views) Re: 1997 Geo Tracker wont start Sign In Was the belt broken? Or just replaced it for maintenance readings? Recheck your marks. All it takes is one tooth. If everything looks okay, pull the spark plugs...they may be fuel fouled. Then, take a compression test. Loren SW Washington way2old Veteran / Moderator Jan 16, 2009, 4:19 PM Post #3 of 5 (3707 views) Re: 1997 Geo Tracker wont start Sign In Along Loren's line of thinking--are you sure the engine was up on compression stroke when belt was lined up? If not, it is out 180 degrees. Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds Guest Anonymous Poster Jan 16, 2009, 4:30 PM Post #4 of 5 (3703 views) Re: 1997 Geo Tracker wont start Sign In thats what I thought, so i checked and with the #1 piston TDC, the rotor is pointed at the #1 plug and the valves are closed. Guest Anonymous Poster Jan 16, 2009, 4:32 PM Post #5 of 5 (3700 views) Re: 1997 Geo Tracker wont start Sign In No the belt was intact, I was replacing the water pump which requires removing the belt, so I replaced it for pm. The plugs are good, and getting fuel. I will try the compression test and let you know what I find out.
