I have a Kia Optima 2004, if you timing belt breaks be prepared to also replace a small balance belt that's inside the timing belt area and it also may have caused the camshaft-sensor to go out as well.

It happened to me. it was a bad Camshaft-Sensor. The new sensor needs to be position with a special tool that just kia dealer has. if not position correct it will destroy your engine.

2.4 pontiac wont start but cranks over
Do a compression test as a malfunctioning valve can cause back fire through the carbie. Since you have changed all the wires double check you have them in the right order because if they are wrong you could get a backfire.

Onece in a while turn over wont fire. runs great other wise
your injector or fuel pump may be going out, next time when you check the issue, check your distubutor again and making sure you getting sparks, if you do have sparks than it has to be your fuel problems.
