I had a devil of a time with timing pins on my WX URQ a while back.
The flywheel will only bolt up one way, no problem there.
Finding the timing pins is difficult, since viewing access is very limited,
and they are not referenced by any other land mark. I found it easiest to
view through the starter hole (still a PITA).
The sensors can be checked by pulling them out, hooking a continuity meter to
the connector, and rapidly passing a metal object under the tip. It should
click (magnetic switch) and beep the meter. I've heard of these being
suspect, but not heard of one actually being bad.
This all relates to my experience with the WX. I'm not certain you car is
exactly the same.
Are you sure you have no spark?
