Car was running, turned at intersection, engine shuts off. have dash lights with switch on, but no power to motor. All fuses and relays good. Timing belt is in poor shape due to one idler pulley damage, but that will not stop motor from turning over. I was thinking the switch but have not checked it yet. Hope you can help me.
