It wont start - HELP!!

[minimaddog]

Well I'm here to confess to a major error, my fiat seciento 2001 MPI (small ecu box) wont start.

I was replacing the cambelt but before i did i removed water coolant tank aside, drivers wheel off, inner arch off, cam belt covers off, alternator belt off oh and crank pulley off ,

here it comes I wanted to note the direction of rotation so i turned on the igntion and started the car however it didnt, i was confused and realised i hadnt put the crank pulley on, i put the crank pulley back on and yes you guessed it it wont start i get the following symtoms:

erratic dash display - petrol gauge reading erratic- ometer displays FPS and then no clear numbers (mileage).

Tries to crank but no ignition - fuel pump wizzes as normal - imboliser light symbol acts normal.

Any advice?

cheers

Ian

did you line up the pin and hole on the crank pulley?

I,m going to say no on this, would that cause the whole starting problem?

I take it all cranks on secientos have this, as i didnt notice this.

cheers

you'll notice when you check it..
there is a FLAT area on the outer rim ( the pick-up) ,

it will be 120' out of time if you're in the wrong bolt-holes.
