I bought a new toyota last week for 1500 dollars that had a broken timing belt. I put a new belt on and set the timing and it ran good. I parked the truck for a week. Now the truck wont start. It pops, but thats about it. The truck has new bottom end and new heads. what can the problem be

First thing I'd do is recheck the ignition timing. Then pull the front end off the engine and recheck your cam timing.

Ya really didn't want to hear this, did ya?

thats what i was afraid of. Do you know what would cuse the cm timing to jump. I put a new belt on it and i was wondering if the belt tensioner would go bad for any reason. I was also wondering if it is a hydraulic tensioner. thank you

Could be a bad bearing. Had that problem on my 91

The bad bearings Sludge is talking about are in the idler pulleys and the belt tensioner. Also, I had difficulty setting the cam timing once when I tried to use an aftermarket timing belt. Sticking with a Toyota belt solved the problem.
