Crank the engine and look at the camshaft (under the oil cap) is it turning? If not you've likely broken the timing belt. Not to worry it's a non-interference engine, replace the timing belt and you'll be good to go again.... |

Is your engine a 3 cylinder or a 4 cylinder? |

Welcome to the forum, mountainman! And if it is the timing belt on a 3 cylinder... Timing Belt Replace/Repair There is a main fuse in the box between the battery and the left fender. The yellow one is the one that was blown on mine. |

Pull the wire that goes from the coil to the dist. Leave it attached to the coil. Hold the wire and get someone to crank it over. Did you jump? If yes, you're getting spark to your dist. If no, you're not getting any power from your coil. That cuts your options in half! |
