I'm currently putting my LX back together with a new timing belt, many pulleys, water pump and alternator.
Before I put my new radiator on, I decided to fill it with oil to make sure it runs. Very glad I did this, because in fact it's not running.
It cranks over and is easy to turn by hand I've got a video attached showing the crank. I also smell fuel while cranking.

Here are my three timing belt pics - I know I'm off by a tooth, but it's the same tooth/direction on both cams and crank so it should be dead on (though I could use a sanity check). Even if I was off by a tooth, I'd expect it to run poorly.
I think I must have either forgot to plug something in, or damaged a crank/cam position sensor wiring. I'm also wondering if I put that toothed plate on backwards that sits on the crankshaft..
What I could use help with is - is there any easy ways to tell if I forgot to plug in or damaged a sensor? I have tech stream working so have that as a tool. Would like to do a little more troubleshooting before I go and tear it all apart again.
