Check for a spark at a plug but NEVER EVER leave a plug lead unconnected when trying to start/run the engine..

Makes sense now , if it is the original belt , my bet is, it will be in perfect condition.
Taking crankshaft pulley off without the proper tool , needs a bit of care.

Why ?
Unless you have an issue , leave well alone.
I can assure you , original Japanese cambelts will last well over 120,000 miles .

Maybe TPS or IAC , especially as it has not been run for a while.

Seems more like an ignition problem.
No spark , or at the wrong time will do this.

Double check that there are no little air/vac pipes left unconnected anywhere , especially the hidden one to the air intake
assembly.

First make sure the mechanical linkages are all working nicely and not sticking, anywhere.
Especially that tiny bearing that runs in the curved slot that is attached to the tps.
Along with other things , that adjustment screw will also affect idle speed.

llly that little

For what little effort it will take , you do the bubble /start up check.
Just to be sure.

Check radiator coolant level.
Fill up when cold.
Leave cap off , get someone to start engine while you look for lots of bubbles coming out of the water.
If so , head gasket gone.

Puzzled how these can fail except by :-
Cable damage
Sensor can being crushed by rust . They sheathed the can in plastic on later cars.
Mechanical damage by stones, etc
Is yours like this ?
