i did timing belt and put my truck back together and my truck wont start
i had the battery out for 2 weeks, it was sitting half on a piece of 2x4 and half on the floor, it was laying at a tilt for 2 weeks, i did notice a bit of goo leaking from positive terminal. outside temps ranged from 55-85deg the whole time, mostly 60-80. battery stayed in the shade.
i tried to jumpstart the car and the starter wouldnt even click.
the battery is currently charging at autozone
i think i either disconnected a wire harness and forgot, or maybe i bent a wire harness out of place and a circuit is not completing.
i know my crank position sensor is in place.
question:
when i installed the timing belt, i was at TDC
but after cranking the harmonic balancer bolt down the truck is no longer at TDC. would this prevent the vehicle from starting up?
I also wiped down the head of my crank position sensor with carb cleaner and a paper towel. afaik, that shouldnt have damaged anything
any ideas on what to check next?
