    Recheck your work, you most likely left something unplugged, recheck all the connectors, is it no spark?

A COMMON PROBLEM I'VE SEEN MANY TIMES IS THE CRANK SENSOR DISRUPTING COMMUNICATION WITH PCM. UNPLUG THE CRANK SENSOR AND CHECK FOR RESPONSE OF PCM. IF COMMUNICATION IS NOW POSSIBLE YOU HAVE A BAD CRANK SENSOR. IT'S A PROBLEM I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS TIMES. DOUBLE CHECK YOUR TIMING.

2004 pt cruiser, changed timing belt, head gasket, put back together, no spark. Any ideas

Engine cranking, check primary voltage to ignition coil, dark green wire with orange tracer. Use a test light. That is the same voltage circuit for fuel injectors. That voltage comes from asd relay. I'm not saying the relay is faulty. The computer has to see both the cam and crank sensors signals or it won't ground the relay.
Could be other issues? You did visually check for spark at the spark plugs?
Any applicable trouble codes?

07 suzuki reno vin #kl5jd66z37k643089 replaced the head gasket put together now it will not start no fuel press. or ignition spark

in usa this engine is L34 or U20SED
i guess you are working with no scan tool????
that be super hard, to out guess the EFI system.
we cant see electrons so.. tools make the man.
DOHC engine
if there is no spark times 4, did you check all 4?
After all 1 cylinder or all 4 can fail. telling the
mechanic big clues
if sparks ok test fuel works (sprayed).
is the timing belt under 60,000 miles new?
if the belt slips compression x4 drops radically.

head off, well i think this is an interference engine.
its DOHC, so if you bent the valves by driving until the belt slipped, oops, you killled the head.

funny thing is no history here
am I to guess, engine died? and the head was removed
was the head tested, when off?
new head, rebuilt head,
check for warp
and do the valve test with I use kerosene
in the combustion chamber to see if the valves are not bent, if bent the fluid leaks to the ports.
oldest test on earth this, 100 years. old.
and more, take it to a machine shop (head)
and get it pressure tested, etc>> now that be savvy.

Car turns over but does not start. Battery good

If it over heated, could have bad head gasket's, fill radiator with water, crank engine with radiator cap off, if water is push out of radiator while cranking, bad head gaskets', also remove spark plug's, crank engine if any water, bad head gasket, also when spark plug's removed, check for any water on them.If there is any water on plug's, bad head gasket, also could try doing a cylinder compression test, if bad compression, head gasket, no compression, wont start that way.

'96 Dodge Dakota will crank, but won't run.

a bad crank sensor or dist pickup plate can cause this.... check the fuses in the fuse block under the hood for any blown ..... a bad auto shut down relay may cause it .....try putting a test light on the green and orange wire and see if it lights up when you try to crank it
