    make sure your vacuum advance leads are all properly attached and not blocked. also make sure there is no corosion or anything out of the ordinary on you battery and alternator leads. get your ignition timing checked get it set a few degrees advanced.

    that might be the case anyway

    Once you have tried all other options given (check battery terminals etc etc), try the Key Way on the crank.

    My bet is it slipping and causing advanced/retarded starting, as in the crank is turning but key way slipping is stopping the timing belt from turning, and cause it out of alignment it wont continue to run.

    Given on what you discribed i would start there.

    Oh and if battery problems are present, unlikely that would cause retarded/advanced starting. But it wont hurt to look a every point of the starting area.

    does the motor sound chocked when cranking.

    Whats advanced or retarded? The timing? The keyway cant slip, if it does your gona be having more than starting issues.
    If its happening when the motor is hot it could just be excessive resistance caused by the heat.

    Um yes the key way can and it will slip if its buggered. New timing belt doesnt mean the keyway wont slip. Does the motor work at all, like is it only hard to start but runs fine otherwise!

    Computer is only as smart as you tell it to be and even then it has restrictions. ECU isnt sending the wrong spark unless your forcing it too.
