Okay, I’m assuming timing belt. No pulleys are turning directly out the front of the engine. Car is running but making a loud tapping/knocking noise.

Good afternoon,

If the crankshaft pulley is not turning, then you have a major engine issue. The front of the crankshaft is not turning. This means the front of the shaft has broken off.

You will need to replace the motor.
