RE: car wont start?
check the basics, see if you have fuel, and spark, and if you have a light make sure you have injector pulse. Also check the 20amp ECU or MPI fuse. I have had many no starts where the maxi fuse was blown. some common problems are (besides stripped timing belt) are the igniter and sometimes the coil pack.

When you turn it over continuously, remove a plug and see if its drenched in fuel. That will tell you if the injectors are working.
Well if the fuel pump is making a noise... that doesnt always mean its working correctly.

im about 95% sure im gonna sell it, but first gotta start it and go from there...would the headgasket have anything to do with it not starting? i know the car was sitting in the impound lot for a while, it had no water in the radiator
