2005 Chevy Aveo 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 7300.0 miles

the car stop on the freeway while driving, when trying to start in makes a sound like it wants to start but will not. We check the starter, and was wondering if it could be the timing belt

Open the front cover and inspect the belt if okay do below to find out what's missing fuel or spark?

Get a carb cleaner and spray into the carb or the throttle body on an EFI. Did it start and die? If not disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light.

If both fuel and spark is present-check the valve and ignition timing, this will lead you to problems with compression and valves opening and closing at the wrong time
