03 civic won't run

replaced head gasket , timing belt and water pump. the car ran fine before repairs, but now it starts up right away and shuts down in a second or two.

Re: 03 civic won't run

i meant timing as in the marks werent lined up properly. crank sensor coudlve been damaged if you spilled any fluid on it. is the engine light on? check the codes too.
