Toyota Carina 2.0 GTI not starting.. Suggestions??   
Hi,

All of a sudden for no reason my Toyota Carina will not start..

Basically it went in for a service and to have a new cam belt fitted.. I 
drove it back from the garage and parked it.. Two days later I went to 
use it, turned the key and it was turning over like normal but not 
starting..

I can't see anything clearly wrong..

I pulled the plug on cylinder 1 and checked for spark and it appears fine..

I pulled back the cam belt cover and turned the engine and the pulleys 
are turning..

I have sprayed some "easy start" into the inlet at the throttle body to 
see if it would kick (and point me to the injection as the problem) but 
it was still dead..

Anyone got any ideas what else I could check next to try and work out 
what is wrong??

Thanks as always..

Contact the garage and have them look at it, it's very likely related to 
the service/cam belt replace
