Wont Start....

[spencer0791]

so the other day i drove my car home fine and my friend wanted to look at the spark plug for some reason, so i let him.. after he put it back in it started running like shit! idk then drove it to work the next day and it was shaking horribly....now it wont start all together....

i took the timing cover off
so when i crank the car
you can see the timming belt trying to move but looks like it get stuck
idk if its the distibuotr, wires, plugs, head...?
help

did he actually remove the plug or just pop off the wire? i would check to see if the plug is loose or if the wire is loose. then go from there

[spencer0791]

he took it out the spark plug

[Galanttuner10]

check that its tight (14 ft lbs) and then go from there

the thing that bugs me is
when i try to start it
the harmonic balancer rotates but the camshaft doesnt.....
i can hand crank it and it all spins....
with valve cover off i can see the valves go up and down too..
but if i crank the car wouldnt it all spin???????
so im stuck...

sounds like something isnt plugged in. the motor does that when something happens to the belt or when a sensor or something is either bad or not plugged in. check all the wires are in the right order, crank sensor on the other side stuff like that

if the cranks spins and the cam doesnt then its pretty clear that the belt is torn apart

if the cranks spins and the cam doesnt then its pretty clear that the belt is torn apart

it all spins when he spins it by the crank meaning that something isnt allowing the car to start. he isnt seeing it spinning, he is seeing the movement the crank does when its trying to turn over.
