You can hear it struggling. Without being there, its hard to tell, but I think her time is done.
Without the spark plugs this is how my turn over is sounding

Would it make a difference if I said I was able to drive it back home, and parked it in the lot.. Let it idle for about 15 seconds, then shut it off.. If something bent or was toast I imagine it would of done it while the engine was running..
My last attempt at anything is dabs of starter fluid to get it cranking,,but I'm so so because of things are bent, I'd be asking for trouble doing that.. Temperature gauge was sitting at little under half when parked.

So, after reading around about just trail and error,, I looked back to the beginning of not gas getting to the engine..but the actual air itself.. Dabbling in some beamer forums I decided to take a look at this..
Ideas and Suggestions?.. I rubbed my finger to get an idea of how coated it is..and it made quite a fine layer.
Haven't done compression cuz it has to be towed there and I'm mostly outta cash..

Disregard,,Apparently AZ most def does have cylinder compressioners and I'm about to test the compression after a deightful bowl of dodi

120 on Cylinder 1..60-64 on 2..0 on 3..0 on 4... PSI :<
But I would have to believe I might be doing the test wrong.. I can't fathom how I would have no compression when it was idling fine the night before.. Looks like i'm forced to take it to a shop just to double check.. Toying around aside from the TB/IM having layers of oil on it.. It doesn't look like I'm getting spark from the plugs.. Gas is definitely spraying in.. Air is possibility on making it in..but I swear when cranked with everything back in..It sounds sooo close trying to start.. Fuses with the "Engine" picture were checked and all seems good.. I'm going to try and get a spark plug tester just so I can rule out no spark..

Ok doesn't look like the views are going up for this so I dunno if ya'll decided to give up.. I had one of those "Mobile Mechanics" Come out run a few tests.. Compression is Good, Spark is perfect. 1 thing that came up was that fuel pump wasn't pumping,, Which is where we get the Starting Fluid directly into the cylinder.. Overloaded wif starting fluid in the Intake to no avail, Sprayed it directly into the cylinder.. Still no start.. They believe it's possible the timing belt jumped timing.. I read up a bit and found that sometimes the timing will jump when shutting off the car as it tries to make the final full rotation,, Sooo I'm back at tomorrow morning Imma pull off the cover and check it out..
I've still been reading, but at this point I would have the car towed to a shop and have them look at it.
A car won't jump timing if the engine is started and stopped after a full rotation. If that was true, it would be possible to jump timing every time you turn off your car. And what is considered a "final full rotation"? What is considered the start of the rotation? That doesn't make sense to me. It can jump if the belt is old and has worn teeth.

Let us know what you find out. I'm curious to know what is going on with it.
Hopefully its nothing too major. Good luck!
