desdinova Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I have a 98 impreza wagon. i replaced the water pump which obviously entails removing the timing belt. i took off the alternator for convenience also. I lined the paint marks on the cams and the arrow on the crank gear to 12:00 o'clock when putting it all back. the car doesn't turn over at all. nothing electrical no turn over, no radio, no nuttin. is there a sensor that detects that is so out off time that it wont allow it to turn over at all ?

desdinova Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 thank you. would that prevent the car from turning over ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Yes. These engines are a little tricky, go back and re time it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewisd Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 yes, these guys know what they're talking about. I did mine (t-belt, water pump and associated idlers) first time ever without a hitch thanks to these guys and the website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desdinova Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 i've done something else. bumped a wire or something. got the timing marks correct but there is nothing. no lights, no radio, no turn over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnceggleston Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 (edited) horn work? battery connected? 2 large connectors on the rear of the engine passenger side? double check. now, put it in PARK, and try again. did you have any SPARKS at any time during the process?

desdinova Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 disconnected and replugged the two large clips and the horn works, but still no nuttin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnceggleston Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 time to check the fusable links in the fuse box under the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Did you not disconnect the battery before removing the alternator? If not, the main fusible link is probably blown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Yes check the main fuse box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
