broken timing chain, broken gear on the distributor are among a couple of possibilities.

Roy

have checked oil pump. cam sensor. rotor button not spinnin no fire.

ok, same answer.

Roy

thys Roy. to check the oil pump drive gear do i go though the intake?

before you go there, you need to check the timing chain as it drives the distributor.

remove the distributor and see if the gear is broke,

the oil pump is in the oil pan.

roy

whats the best way to get to oil pump drive gear to check and see if thats why distributor not turning or not firing

why are you so hung up on this pump drive. it is the last thing you need to check?? start with basics

Roy

please just tell me what makes distributor turn.Timing chain ok Yhanks

timing chain, yes, thats what i have been trying to tell you. the distributor drives the oil pump but power orginates from the cam turning

Roy

roy

roy just went outside checked and camshahaft sprocket broke . bottom of engine free. no metal in oil pan ,havent checked top half yet. what would make sprocket break besides the chain? Ran fine when i turned it off. could it just give out or jam up?

is it a fiber gear or steel>> are the teeth still there???

Roy
