Ford Puma Non start

[vicky2204]

Hi
Was wondering if anybody could help. Ford Puma 2000 model non start. Head gasket replaced. Variable valve timing. We set it all up, but once cranked it all goes out again. Inlet cam does not line up with exhaust cam. Tming belt has been replaced and timing is correct.

Any ideas would be most usefull.

Thanks

Vicky

Would I be wrong to think we should demand some dojo juice.....

is it a yellow 1.4?

hi

Sorry but the car is not yellow, its black and to the reply of dojo juice? dont know what you mean sorry. Do any of you know about variable timing?

So it's all lined up, then after cranking nothing lines up? Are you sure the belt is installed correctly? If it is I can't see how things can get out of sync. And if it has of course you are probably looking at bent valves as IIRC it's an interference engine...

Could possibly be a broken woodruff key either on the crank or the cam gear?

Have you had the woodruff keys out and not replaced them?
