wont start need help? replaced all gaskets, water pump, heater hoses, timing is right on, has compression, has spark, has fuel and new oil and oil filter. Car turns over but won't start. Makes a sound like the battery is dead but has a fully charged battery. The car is a 97 Toyota Tercel 2dr sedan, 4 cyl., 1.5L. All wires and hoses are hooked up and in the right spot. Can't figure out what is wrong.

it can't "turn over" AND sound like the battery is dead, it' one or the other, can't be both. If it were me I would check all battery connections for contact, and check all wiring plugs for connection, if that fails, check to see how much current the starter is drawing.

Distributor Timing Is Wrong.
