So I was on a dinner date with my fiance and we went to leave. No start. 13 codes. All short, high and low circuits. All share a common ground with the fuel pump relay. Replace it. One code remains. Cam position sensor circuit high. Fucking timing belt broke. Ive been cranking an engine against its valves diagnosing a no start. Or so I thought.

Suspect mark on one exhaust valve that was extended as per the cam. But no other marks, it doesn't leak. Pistons had a lot of crap on them so i vacuumed that out.

Extra missing teeth that I didn't notice last time I inspected the belt:

So the bad news is I still have two broken exhaust studs stuck in the head. Having someone taking care of that I hope. I also broke the cam position sensor taking the Cam out.
 
Reinstalled the cylinder head, lower intake and installed new studs and the exhaust manifold. Below you can see the belt carnage.

Rain after the eclipse mean't shit wasn't getting done. Plugged the fuel injectors back in, hooked up the coolant hoses. Took off the engine mounts so I can get to the water pump and do the timing belt.

Well the title came true again. After following the manuals specs for torque I broke a stud for the cam... FML
All in all probably going to turn out just fine.
