*update*need help car won't start
ok heres the story:
i changed out the head gasket, timing belt, water pump, cap and rotor, and all belts.
well my car drove awesome for a week and last sat my AEM cam gear loosened itself up(the set bolts) and my car stalled out in the middle of the road.
well i set the cam gear back and tried to start it and i noticed that there was no spark in the 3rd cylinder. my car wouldn't start at all after that.
i bought a ignitor and coil from Honda and installed it and put everything back together. well it still won't start and the engine light comes on about 4 or 5 turns of the motor.
please someone help

Ok, take a 17mm socket and with your 1/2"drive ratchet, turn the crankpulley bolt to line up the center of the 3 lines on the crank pulley with the timing marker on the bottom cover...Now, take a look at your cam gear and make sure your cam gear is set a 0 , the Up mark/Cam Key should be at 12oclock and the 2 lines, if the cam gear has it, should be at 3oclock and 9oclock...If its not, then take your 14mm socket and loosen the timing belt tensioner, then push the belt on the firewall side towards the front of the car and tighten up the tensioner...Now, slide the belt off the cam pulley...Then, take a 12mm spanner and turn the cam pulley clockwise until you get the up mark directly up or until the Cam Key is at 12oclock...Now slip back on the belt, and loosen up the tensioner again...Turn the crank pulley about 3 teeth towards the engine's rotation, counterclockwise, tighten up the tensioner and check the tension...Now start up the car and listen to see that the belt is not too tight...Turn it off and check it again...Adjust your cam gear to what you had it to before...
