help 7mgte wont start

Define 'nothing'.
You mean there is no engine rotation, I assume?
If this is the case, first ensure that the battery is charged.
If so, check the ALT fuse in the fuse box. It is the loop of wire(fusible link).
If the previous owner messed with cam timing, or cps timing, the car may not start, but it would crank over.
Sounds to me like either a blown fuse, starter relay isn't functioning/ bad wire, or something was left disconnected when previous owner tinkered with it.

"nothing" being no crank AND no lights/radio/acc? or just no crank? the 7m starting system is no different than any other system. its got a starter, battery, ignition cyl, relays, fuses. start at battery, than starter relay(search it) etc etc...
Yea no crank no lights nothing at all...battery was recharged and even jumper cables hooked up but still nothing ill take a look at those stuff wen I get in from work today appreciate all u guys helping me out thanks
The wiring looks pretty good last owner changed the headgasket 5k ago...I wonder if I should juss go 1j and juss sell this motor for a quick 300

If you cant figure out a simple wiring problem on the 7m, youre sure as shit not going to accomplish any thing with a 1j/2j swap.
See if I had the car and the problem started wen I had it I would probably b able to pin point it but seeing that I got it wit this problem there can b a # of stuff wrong and that's wat I don't wanna go through
1. Have you checked the ALT fusible link in the fusebox yet?
2. If that's good, Check to make sure the neg. cable is tight to the block on the lower driver's side,
and the pos. cable is tight to the starter as well.
3. Then check the condition of both terminals on the battery. They must be clean as well as tight.

+1 to that. It really sounds like a bad connection. Just check all your connections as already suggested. Sounds like a lose ground to me.
bad ground connection from main ground at battery to side of block
remove ground, clean with sand paper to bare metal and reinstall
if problem still exist then you have a power signal issue
like other said check alt fuse if ok
then grab a multimeter and follow wires while checking for voltage

Check the battery voltage of course but there's a small blue wire from batt + to fuse box that I've seen cause this a couple of times
Checked battery theres no corrosion on it...connectors are tight ground wire had alittle rust but cleaned that up n still nothing....had some blown fuzes will be chaning that today!!
Woa-
Had blown some fuses?
There's where your problem lies.
Not in the fuses themselves, probably, but in the short(s) that blew them in the first place.
Keep us posted, as there is nothing more frustrating than everybody putting in their effort to help, and never hearing the solution/ results.
