Should just push back in have a good look and see where it goes

Need the Year and engine size please?Leon

This is not s small job and should not be attempted unless you have a very good knowledge on timing systems and such? Luckily this is a overhead cam system, once you have removed all air system and hoses you can unscrew cylinder rocker cover to reveal cam. You will have to take cam cover off from side of engine, then you will have to locate cam timing tensioner, scratch cam timing wheel or mark with nail varnish for exact position! Then undo bolt to remove wheel, you will need a wedge to remove this/them if dual (this is the most important thing to get precise) then slacken tensioner to release belt after which you should be able to systematically undo cam shim bolts and release cam shaft, (make sure you make note of assembly for brackets as major part of healthy engine! If you shim s look worn then Defo replace them . After replracing New cam shaft line up old wheel with the timing marks and then you will be ready to replace timing belt and lining up cam position then tighten up belt and replace cam cover and rocker cover, if when you try to turn engine over you hear tapping noise, turn off immediately and ask garage to set timing up for you but remember to inform them of your escapades for them to fix. If no tapping noise then it done and you deserve a big pat on the back. Good luck and hope this helps?

i think there is problem on the electrical concern..bring the car to auto electrical and find out what is the main problem.

What about it?

It has 2 screws that may have torx heads holding it in.

I'm not sure of the vehicle type or model due to your question, but the fact you mentioned spark I can only assume its a gas powered engine. I would highly recommend you not use any type of STARTING FLUID to aid in starting. Starting fluid should only be used for diesels, and I mean large industrial size motors when cold only. Any type of starting fluid used on a gas engines or domestic sized trucks can severely damage the engine especially when it won't help at all with the issue it won't start. Need more info of vehicle to help.

is this still on carb?if yes, just replace jets with smaller one.pinging is caused by incorrect ignition timing. have a mechanic reset your timing on crankshaft, camshaft, and distributor

some times the window regulators on toyotas need to be resett if they get jammed or they are interupted when operating ... an easy way to reset the regulator in toyotas is to disconnect the passenger regulator or switch wait 5 minutes the reconnect and using the passenger switch hold it up for 20 seconds and then down all the way holding it down when it stops for another 20 seconds. then check that the drivers side is now working and reset

adjust the air screw 2,5 turns out run and get the fuel injection checked

Try turning the key (in your door) to the unlock position twice if that doesn't work turn in to the unlock position and hold it there a few seconds
