Idle Air Control Valve question

[chuckcintron]

Please make 1000% sure you are certain it is mistimed at the belt before you change the relationship of the cams to each other & the crank. If the reference book is Haynes, I would be very suspicious.

You know that is very odd that the belt would skip a notch (or two). If somehow that is what happened and the gods of combustion smiled on you by not destroying your valves, you also need to find root cause. Like, is the belt slack due to a failed tensioner (?)

Make sure you sort through the basics first. Are you getting adequate fuel volume and pressure at the rail? Is the fuel pump relay energized and cycling the pump at pre-ignition ('on' position)?

If your timing marks are off,I would make sure you have the engine rotation correct. You could be 180 degrees off and not at the top off the compression stroke on the number 1 cylinder and then it wouldn't align correctly. Try spinning the engine 180 degrees more with a wrench and see if they line up then.
I would first check for engine compression as you have fuel and spark.
