Timing check: Quick response needed!

The Echo is my fiancees car, and it's a bit rusted, old and the a/c hasn't worked since she bought it used w/ 280,000km on it. It now has. 350,000km.

It was burning some oil so I figured i'd replace the valve seals and clean the head and valves as there was some oil buildup under the oil cap. At the same time it would help me learn about the 1NZ engine in case I had to do any future engine work on my Yaris. It also is my escape from the grind of med school and since I just finished exams I was looking forward to workin on the Echo.

I have the full work manual and made sure every thing was done properly and had no problem doing the work. I didn't bother with the valve seals as it would've been too much work that I didn't feel like spending to remove all the valves.

The issue now seems electrical which is causing the misfire. Saturday when I'm back in town I'll check all the connectors again and make sure none are disconnected, I already did a quick check of this but will do it again.

My fiancés will likely get a business car in 2 years so I wanted to keep the Echo goin for her for that time as we don't really have the cash for a new car. I don't like buying something new if the original still works. If I can't get it to fire properly than I won't have much choice. I'm hoping Saturday I can get it to run again
