The original daewootech forum

Well this all became academic tonight when I traded straight up even for a running 1997 Olds Cutlass...thanks to all for your help and insight.

How much for parts?

How much is this going to cost me in USD?


Jerry

Now I am crying...what would be best/worst case scenario?

Jerry

Well I just pried back the timing belt cover and had someone turn over the engine, nothing moved.... The timing belt it tight but apparently teeth are stripped off down by the crank...arrrrggghhhhhh........ Does this also mean my valves are broken too???????


Jerry

Well I hope all 16 of my valves aren't broken, I just got home and will be looking further into timing belt. We have tried to jump the car...but like I said it turns over just fine and has fuel and spark..



Jerry

If you read my original post, I am getting fuel and spark. I will check to make sure that all the teeth are on the timing belt. If they are and I am getting fuel and spark what else could it be. I will be at work all day so you won't hear from me until later tonight.

Jerry

Well the good news is the timing belt is intact and appears to be relatively new..what now..

Jerry

Ok, I will try that...but will I still get spark at the plud wires if the belt is snapped?

Ok where is the timing belt cover?

Thanks

My wife drove our 2000 Lanos about 60 miles last week for a doctors appointment. She parked in the parking lot, spent a couple of hours in the doctors office and when she left to come home the car would not start. It turns over but doesn't fire. We had it towed home and I have determined that it is ...
