that might help if you haven't

sorry, basically the belt cam off and know the car wont start. It does not turn over and before it did. What can be wrong? I already checked all my electrical and put the belt back on the started just clicks. The car was on for 5 minutes after cam install. I hate this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Put a 24mm socket and ratchet on the crank bolt. Remove the spark plugs. Does the motor freely turn over without any slight binding/resitance feeling? Or does it feel like you hit a brick wall? No temp readout could be an unhooked sensor, bad connector, or bad sensor.

Is english your native language? Anyway, you said you checked electrical, but usually when the starter clicks on a car, the battery charge is low. If youre sure the battery is charged, you could try starting the motor without any belts on the car. If it still dosnt start, you might have a problem with teh starter itself.

don't leave the key turned on with the engine not running. It will kill your battery.
And hook the wire back on to the temp sensor.

and you just swapped camshafts?

My temp gauge didn't work after my cam install because it had an air bubble in the block. Luckily I was really paying attention & noticed the problem before the engine overheated.
