(2010-05-29 14:11:51) 1. redfish Says: compression on it would that be that my timing belt broke2. SVOMAN Says: it's either broke or slipped...3. lucy lui Says: that's a very good guess. pull the timing cover off front of motor and check belt.4. jacob f Says: that is quite possible yes,

good way to check, take off the valve cover and spin the engine with a wrench on the crank pulley, don't try to start it, it might be an interference engine and valve damage can occur

if the valves don't move, then the belt is broke5. Knowledge is better Says: if your engine runs it would clearly indicate that the timing belt did not break. If you can't get it started and did a compression check, that could be one reason, you'd need to remove the timing cover.
