SC400 turns over but wont start
I just replaced the waterpump and timing belt. I know the timing is good at least. She turns over good, but doesn't start. I would think it was something like the engine ecu or something but it was running perfectly fine before i took the waterpump and timing belt off. Anyone know?

No problem before changing parts, and the car might not spark because of the battery? Trying too learn but how do i check grounds?

Engine block, head and transmission are case grounded, meaning that they are ground directly to the chassis by the means of a cable. Go back and double check for any loose plugs and wires. If it ran fine before, most likely something is unplugged.

Oh i found the MAF, its plugged in. But before i tryed starting the engine without the MAF plugged in ( didn't know i needed it cause its on my intake ). And i got a spark with a little white smoke, i am assuming that was from that wire not being connected too anything? But i went ahead plugged everything else, radiator and intake. Plugged the MAF in and nothing really changed. Could it just be that the MAF wire is now defaulty or something like that?
Apparently i don't even need the MAF too start the engine. There's a topic on how without it on you run richer.

Under the hood i have, cant get into my car right now lol. When i reconnected my battery it auto locked my doors with keys inside. I think i have an electrical problem too.... When i put the break down the lights dim and the stereo shuts off until i let off the breaks. Going to go unlock my doors with a hanger right now. Anyone hear of issues like what i have?
