    I dissconnected the Batterie for a half and hour, then reconnected it. I checked the gap in the plugs. i tryed turning on the car while spraying either(it has half a tank of gas) and rechecked all connections and still CRANKS BUT NO START! I then removed the Cam gear cover and notice that half of my timing belt was missing(It didn't break, just riped down the middle). I do not no where the rest of the belt is! I think it might of skiped a tooth!
    I need to get a new belt and get the timing done!

    Wow, you're going to have a lot more to worry about if you jumped timing.

    Don't even worry about reading any codes if your timing belt is torn in half. Whatever caused that surely caused you to jump timing. Prepare for a whole set of bent intake valves.

    Like TJ said, you better watch out for bent valves. Yikes.

    Yeah if the car was running when the belt tore in half(lol Im sure it was) be prepared to replace the valves and some of the valve guides. This is the time to replace the valve seals, and waterpump too since you will have it apart.

    Beat me to the punch Seth. I was gonna suggest the same items and also the tensioner pullies as long as the engine is apart.

    Good luck RacerX. I hope it doesn't wind up costing a bundle. And make sure the shop you take it to is reputable and knows what they're doing.

    I took it to my Grandfathers shop today and they showed me the timing belt all shredded, they said they had to change the Crankshaft or camshaft sensor(one of those), they checked the compression and 2 of the cylinders had no compression(I might have some bent valves). Tomorrow they are gonna pop off the head. My car should be ready this Saturday!

    The car is done!!!!! The car is running way stronger then ever!!! No service engine soon or check engine!!! I only paid $600 for Everything(Complete head job, timing belt, cam shaft sensor, Oil change w/filter, head gasket, valve cover gasket, spark plug tube seal and labor). I'm very lucky that my grandfather owns a shop!!!!
