So its running to warm up in the driveway in november and dies while running. My dad says he heard it kinda whine as it died. We've checked the fuel pump, plugs, all fuses and relays. We are getting fuel, air, and spark. When you try to turn it over it almost wants to start but does not quite fire. Our only idea is the timing belt. Any input? Thanks

It is easy to check to see if you timing belt is broke. All you have to do is move the plastic belt cover on the left side of you motor when someone is turning the motor over and see if the belt is moving, you might have to take out 1 or 2 bolts if the belt is turning its not broke if it is not there is you problem
