Acts like its out of gas, Ive been told it could be timing belt OR relays what should I check first? I put a engine analyzer on it and did not read out any problems.....Thanks, Bill

How would I replace the timing belt in my garage, I've heard you remove the front engine mount and jack up the engine a little to gain access to the panels, but what else would I have to do? I put on a new distributor, but still no spark. Thanks, Bill

either is spark or fuel related or compression.

best thign to do is dump some gas or spray starting fluid down the throttle body and start it up. start now?

if not check for spark.

get back to me.

please hit reply at the bottom of the page to reply to a question, if you just edit it i will probably never see it and it wont show me you have posted back, only reason i saw this one is because mike pmed me.

next for your problem, why would you want to replace the timing belt for no spark? take the distributor cap off and crank the engine, do you see the rotor turning? if so the belt is still intact.
