95 camry 2.2l cranks but wont start
 
I am working on a 95 camry 2.2l that I bought at an auction, I have no history of the vehicle. Cranks good but doesnt even try to start. I have put plugs and wires and tested spark, is ok. I drained all the fuel from the gas tank and put in fresh fuel with treatment. Checked engine compression, RPMs go up when the engine is cranking. All good signs here. Any ideas on what else to check? All help is...helpful! Thanks in advance.

After cranking, take out a plug and see if it has or smells like gas. Make sure the fuel is getting there.
You say you have spark, if fuel is getting there, check the timing.

Yes, the plug is wet with fuel. It has spark but the spark is white/yellow, not blue. May not be getting enough spark? Would the compression be good if the timing was off? I will check the timing this weekend anyway, thanks.

Spark might weak. Can try a new coil, cap, rotor, plugs (if bad) and ign wires.

Well the timing belt was cracked up pretty bad and the timing was off. Replaced belt, water pump, tensioner. Looks like the job was done not too long ago but had the wrong spring installed for the tensioner. Anyway, still has the same problem. Checked the timing multiple times. The plugs and wires are new. I havent removed the coil to inspect it yet but I suppose that is all I have left? Im running out of ideas here. Does anybody know about the color of the spark?

Pulled the distributor today, ohmed coil and it had excessive resistance, plus it was cracked. Replaced coil and still wont start. Not even trying to start. I am completely out of answers now. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Timing is good?
Distributor is good?
Fuel is getting delivered?
When the timing was originally off, could there be damage?
