    Timing belt

    Any taught Car wont start after replacing the timing belt, water pump, cam and crank seals, valve cover gaskets the car wont start. It cranks and tries to sputter.

    First thing I would do is verify the timing is correct, maybe something was moved while replacing the belt???

    did you unplug anything when you did the timing belt? the only thing I could think of is that you have the timing 180 degrees... or you switched the cam position sensor plug under the round pin plug in the engine bay. Maybe the car is just flooded with fuel. Let the car sit for a while and then try it again. You might also want to keep the gas pedal to the floor and crank to see if it catches.
