Citroen C3 Owners

I'm after some help
I recently had the cambelt break on my 2003 c3 1.4 so pulled the head off changed the bent valves new headgasket etc etc however it won't start cars saying injector circuit open an all four injectors which I believe is something I've done any idea what I might of done? It's all connected but I didn't disconnect the rail from the head when I did the work maybe I've knocked or something?
Also I'm getting a vehicle comm bus A fault? Could that be related.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Did you time the head up to the crank correctly?

What code do you get for that ? the 'P' code?

I think I did I locked the cam off with an 8mm pin and used the timing marks on the pulley to the block it turned over fine by hand but didn't start, I then moved the crack 180% thinking it might be out and again by hand to check before trying again still no luck.

The codes are
P0201
P0202
P0203
P0204
And comm bus a is u0028

OK, thanks.

With all 4 injectors affected it could be a fuse supplying the engine bay area, seeing as there is a bus error too, it could be a fuse to the engine ECU that has blown.

Engine fuse box:

I've checked all in the engine bay next to the battery and under the glove box, all okay.
If the timing was out would it throw up these codes?

Just thinking there was two white lines on the new belt but it wasn't going to line up with the marks on the crank and cam so I ignored them.

Okay so tonight I removed the injector rail which I didn't before the o rings look past it in fact one was non existent, plus and I will say I brought this with a broken belt for my run around it has two different type of spark plugs in there,

When I pulled the plugs however there covered in fuel I think the timing might be wrong, if I have a timing mark on my crank would I still have a locking hole on the flywheel?
I'm still confused as to why the belt had timing marks that didn't match up with the cars timing marks.

The belt doesn't time. Its the position of the crank and the position of the cam that needs to be perfect.

So it may have never run. Maybe its got more than one fault on it, like some knackered injectors?

Yes, there is a locking off point for the crank, but you didn't need it.

Okay only just got round to this but I've popped new plugs in as a said before there were odd matching ones,
I've also cleaned the injectors and fitted all new o rings, but still nothing it does want to start but I can't work it out.

Any ideas what this comm bus a fault is? Might be causing the open circuit issue.

Also possible it's a few teeth out?

I've just had a thought the battery was flat when I received it is it possible that could be at fault? I remember a Mercedes A class a few years ago that was doing some strange things until I changed it including not starting.

Knackered batteries do give all sorts of odd faults on the C3.
