have you checked you have plugged the alternator back in? and re-attached your battery?

if you removed the pulley for thr alternator on the crankshaft it needs to back with the index pin in the correct position it will go back ok 120 or 240 degrees out but the spark will be 120 or 240 degrees out.

Ya i have plugged in the altenator and reconnected the battery

Did you take the crank pulley toothed wheel off?

Cheers

you have to take it off to get the belt out (or remove the tdc sensor, but i'd not do it that way unless i was changing the sensor at same time).

My money is on the bottom pulley not on the right way round. Look carefully and there is a small nipple that needs to be located in a tiny hole on the pulley - the nipple can be snapped off (is on my car) but its obvious where is was.
