Had a bad water pump on my 1996 Tacoma with 3.4 and put everything together and it won't fire up, it's got fuel, spark, obviously battery, I've checked fuses and everything and still can't get it to start

While doing the water pump change did the timing marks on the crank and the 2 cam gears stay the same? Did you double check it before closing everything up?

When I opened it up (facing the motor) the right cam gear was lined up straight 12o clock and the left one was at 10 o clock, I straightened the left cam to match the right cam at 12 o clock and then put the belt on and lined up all the marks
