2002 protege5
hi, im new here and new to mazdas completely. i recently got a 2002 protege5 and the valve seals were bad, i replaced them and after everything was done the car doesnt start it just cranks. i took everything apart again and checked the timing belt, cam sprockets and crank sprocket, everything is lined up, i put all shims back in the same place and re checkked all my electrical connections, i have compression in all cylinders, fuel is good, spark is there, im stumpped. please help this noob!
 
so it has spark and fuel but no fire hm. could be that you messed up the cam position sensor as said above could be the crankshaft position sensor. could be a very huge vacuum leak, but if compression is good then this is unlikely. is the egr system good? check your relays and fuses, you may have blown one accidentally.
