I know this would be a long shot ... but have you doublechecked the gap on your plugs, maybe it's a little bit too big and your blowing out the spark :? even though you would be more likely to run into that with your 8g. oh well it's the only other thing i could think of that hasn't been said yet

I've got the same experience,i've checked everything of the car, at last i saw that the BS belt broke and broke the crank sensor.
try to check that

I been saying it for the longest, had the belt pop on me 2x in my G's life.
Its either the Balance shaft belt,CP, or timing skipped and fucked up.
IF it just died at a light out of nowhere, no chugga chugga or anything. Its somewhere along the lines of the stuff we mentioned.

7G's dont just up and die out of nowhere. The belt is usually the main culprit.

but he is still gettting spark.
no crank signal= no spark.
crank signal=spark.

you were right.

i pulled off the top belt cover again but this time had someone crank while i looked. sure enough, the belt was pretty damaged on a part and a chunk was missing.

took it to the shop down the street with a guy know (hell for 90 bucks i figure i'll let him deal with changing the belt)

turns out the head is damaged. the belt must have skipped a few teeth and the valves got bent.

anybody know if the valves from the 8g are interchangable with the 7g? i have an extra 8g laying around and im trying to save some cash here.

or would i be better off just buying a head from a junk yard?

thanks in advance guys.

just get a junkyard head.
no sense in rebuilding a head thats going on an old motor.
if you were rebuilding everythign i'd do the head...
but since its just the ehad screw it, go to the yard. probably the cheapest option, and those heads are plentiful.

KarKing has completely rebuilt motors though.
and pretty solid prices.
might look into that.

sounds like your hydraulic tensioner failed.

More like the balance shaft belt ripped and a few pieces caught his timing belt. I've seen it happen time and time again.
