After replacing a broken timing belt the car will not start?

Hi,

The engine on this vehicle should be a single overhead cam engine. If that is the case, the engine is not an interference engine.

Therefore, there shouldn't be any damage to the cylinder head, valves, or pistons. What I need you to do is this. Replace the timing belt and then check to see if there is good engine compression when it is back together. If it is, things should be fine, and no further repairs needed.


I attached the directions below for replacing the timing belt. Make sure when you reinstall the new one that all marks are positioned correctly. Also, take a look through the directions and let me know if you have questions.

Take care,

Joe
