93 Mits 2.5 diesel just replaced waterpump and now it does not go. Drove into the workshop, it sat for a week, replaced pump and it does now not start.

The water pump is not driven by the cam belt, The cambelt was not actually removed , but the spring tensioner was, so I can only presume that it has jumped a tooth on the bottom gear. That must be enough to make it not start.

The pump is not driven by the cam belt, but the spring tensioner hooks on to the pump, so needs to be removed.

check these things. fuelcut silanoid operates click on off on pump. glowplugs got 12 volt supply to plugs while glowing is in progress then you whip the timingcover off and rotate it to its markings and check thatonce there was nothing wrong with the above . i would not try and start it till you found the problem and it be one of the above things.

Had a similer problem. A rat had chewed through the wire to the fuel pump.

If the tensioner was still bolted in place, and you only removed and refitted the spring, then timing belt should still be timed ok.
Easy enough to check though as above.
