Sounds rather odd. 30PSI is the man to tell you how to check the cam belt. I'll be amazed if it has jumped though to be honest.
It actually sounds more as if it's flooded? Mind does that sometimes, if it doesn't fire first time, it floods itself. When you fitted the exhaust, did you disrupt any air pipes? E.g. air intake, etc.

It hasn't jumped a tooth.
Chances are, as RK said it's flooded. Get in to the right hand boot compartment and pull out the tray. Under there is 2 plugs. Disconnect the 4 wired flat plug to disconnect the fuel pump. Then try to start it and hopefully it will clean itself out a bit and then reconnect the pump.

thanks for the responses
One side of the belt does appear to be a little slack though If it was flooded, would leaving it for a while allow time to evaporate, and thus it would start later. ??? I tried again half hour later and it still wouldn't fire I will try the suggestion of 30PSI, but the pump seems to be working, Can you explinan this a little more please?

Taking out the fuel pump fuse will stop it sparking though. You need to try to burn off the old fuel so best just to disconnect the pump.
My mate flooded his so bad the only way to get it started was to tow it and get the engine spinning at 3k

Take out the plugs, dry them with kitchen paper, put them back in. Turn the engine over with the fuel pump disconnected.
I can cut my fuel pump off with one of the immobilisers but otherwise do as Martin said and unplug it. S12's are brilliant at flooding themselves!!
