So, everything is back together. I started it up but it wouldn't idle at all. It would run if you push the gas, but it would sputter and die at idle. I had it towed to a shop to check it out. Apparently Autozone gave me the wrong timing belt but I managed to put it on somehow and it threw the valve timing off by 10 degrees. If I remember reading correctly, these engines are non-interference type so I don't think I could have damaged the valves. Hopefully she will be fully functional again tomorrow! Then it's off for smog testing. Oh joy.
