Went to start my neon and it didn't start. didn't sound right while turning over with the starter either. no R-R-R sound. just a FL-FL-FL sound. I happen to have the requried items to check Compression, and discoverd it had none. so I determined I slipped a timing belt. What is the chances of this causing another problem. this is a Dual Overhead Cam 2.0 liter.
