I got the crank bolt loose and proceeded to change the belt. It was all straight forward and I took care in each and every step. I noticed that the left [passenger] side wheel moved a little as I was positioning the belt and counting the teeth. I moved it back and used a smallish c-clamp to keep it from moving as I completed the belt installation. When I had it on with all the beltmarks lined up I ran it through one complete cycle [by hand] to take any slop out of the belt and kind of just seat everything. I put on the center timing cover and then tried to fire it up to hear my success. Well, I didn't have any. It doesn't even sound like it wants to fire. Where did I go wrong and what can I do from here. It's a '98 Impreza 2.2L 5 speed. Thanks
