How did you check the timing belt? Did you pull the front end of the engine apart and verify all the marks line up properly?

Is the front timing cover still off? If so, try cranking the engine over by hand and see if everything lines up.

If it does, put it back together and verify fuel and spark.

Jdl1966, did you determine a cause and fix for your problem yet? Do we need to keep going with diagnostics?

Hi! Timing belt slipped due to a small leak from the water pump, also had what looked like dried up gasket material, the red factory stuff inside the timing cover. Any way had to replace pump, belt and had the heads redone, bent all the valves ! Thanks jamie !
