Help needed

Looking for some advice/ guidance, I've had to replace my front oil seal due to it leaking (MOT fail) at the same time I've put another new timing belt on, everything seems to line up well the problem is she won't even fire when I spin her over! I've checked I'm getting fuel all the way to the injectors so what's the problem? Or am I missing something simple?

Thanks in advance

Depends how you changed the timing belt.

Standard way. Put pins in fly wheel and pump, stripped down replaced seal, new pulleys new belt, had to loosen 3 bolts on pump, belt on tension up pop pins out manually turned it over 3 times, rechecked the marks then spun by key.
Not starting.

3 times ?was the keyway at 12 oclock with flywheel pin in

If you removed the FIP stop solenoid wire on the back of the pump for safety reasons have you forgot to refit it?

If the flywheel was locked with pin, and so was the FIP. Did you check the marking on the cam gear lined up with the marking on the casing?

All points were lined up with pins reinserted and I always turn over by hand first with 3 full rotations.

I didn't remove the solenoid wire, and all points lined up.

its 2 rotations if you want to check pins/marks realign fully again, 3 would mean you start or end up 180 degrees out

That is what I did, but times 3! Or better to understand x6

but with flywheel pin in was the crank keyway at 12 oclock

Thanks for tips guys, have resolved it by completely stripping again resetting marks and presto started first turn.

'Fess up!
What part did you get wrong?
