Okay here goes, girlfriends car shredded the belt and the idler pulley was shot as well. car had to be shut off was still running but not going anywhere.
After 3 hours of messing with the powersteering pump and the hidden bolt in the back that wasnt in the manual(thanks haynes) I finally got the car all back together belts tensioned properly and the car wont start. While messing with the powersteering pump I snapped the main fuel feed to the injector rail. replaced line have pressure and have spark car will not turn over. if it was a tps or crank sensor it would not spark correct? openned timing cover belt looks fine. HELP!!!!???

next thing I want you to check is the mass airflow sensor and the engine coolant temp sensor.

you may want to check the idle air control valve for good measure. Is there power to the injectors?

Car is sitting in parking lot at work. No codes tripped either. Could the power to the injectors be down from an electonic fuel cut off switch since i snapped the fuel line?
engine coolant temp sensor? unplug and check continuity?
power is going to the idle air control valve did not check power at injectors. That would make sense but fuses are okay.
Thanks,
I will check tommorrow.
