i have a 96 2.3l 4 cyl. i just replaced the timing belt and now the truck wont start. I had everthing lined up the way it was suppose to be. could the sensor be the problem? Is there an easier way to change it besides pulling the water pump and alternator and all that good stuff?
 
i had to change the belt because it broke while i was driving it. How ever I did get everything back together, finally after i lined up the right marks, after scrubbing the crap out of the pulley to see the right marks, it fired right up. Now after a week of driving it and it running fine, the stupid thing will start up but then choke out after a few seconds. :cry:.
 
Could be a number of things.

Fuel Filter
Cats plugged
O2 Sensors,
MAF sensor
Sparks (altho if you're smart enough to replace a timing chain, you're smart enough to check your sparks every so often)
Vacuum hose leak

Now, are you sure that the engine is choking itself out, instead of something else?

Has your CEL turned on?
