I recently changed head gasket on mi omega 2.2l (2198cc) 2001 Z22xe, auto. when I remove the timing cover and turning the engine to TDC, the inlet cam mark was slightly off mark ( almost 2 teeth before the mark on the rocker cover; the marks on exhaust cam and crank shaft were exactly matching. So after replacing the head gasket, I put back the timing belt but adjusted the the inlet cam shaft to match with the rocker cover mark. When I tried to start the car it can't start but cranking. Please help, what can I do to sor :-\t out this problem.

thaks, Gibby

can you get any codes??
seems funny that the previous marks seem to be out, but someone with more knowledge than me will be along soon

I think you have put the cam belt on wrong

You also may have done something wrong when changing the head gasket

have you done this work yourself ?

just check this one if you don't have cable to diagnose your car:

and tell us fault codes you get.

Hello Sir, what I see on the dashboard is the car and spanner symbol, does it ring a bell sir? thax

[woodoo]

No, you have to read fault codes with diagnostic cable or try Pedal Trick (check the link i gave you before) and tell us these codes.

I don't think anyone on the forum has been able to get codes out of a 2.2 using the pedal trick

Don't let that stop you from trying though, it would be good to hear of someone who has

Thax, its dark now but I will try early in the morning tomorrow, be blessed

hello sir, I have tried several times but I can't understand the sequence of flashes  to get some codes, pliz explain, soory for being a pain to u

[fiend61]

if you are getting it to flash using the pedal trick    which personally i have never seen on a 2.2  watch this very carefully and try again

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ didnt i just put that link 

Nope ... different links ..

Yours was to paperclip which has absolutely NO CHANCE of working on a 2.2 ... second was to pedal trick which just might work .....  unlikely though

and the numbers are completely different

Personally I think THIS is the more useful link
