car turns over but wont start.
checked fuses and sorts.
there is no oil leaking, or anything rattling or sound broken.
and my engine is all stock at the moment as in intake, exhaust, etc.
im lost at the moment as far as whats wrong,
fuel,spark,fuel pump...dunno open for any help
thanks

 

timing belt borke?

 

hmmmm do you have an intake cause that can come loose and cause those very symptoms and i would check your battery too

 

im running stock intake, and my battery is just fine bc my stereo works just fine and lights n all. i just took off my timing cover to look at the belt.
looks fine but i noticed that all my other belts turn when cranking it over except my cam gear and timing belt......
is that normal bc i dont remember that happening w my old car???
or are all my belts still supposto move anyways.

 

That would mean that your timing belt snapped. Sorry...

 

took it apart yesterday figured out the problem

 

how bad is it?

 

you know we will ask.....what was the problem

 

???

 

Proberly a dirty crankshaft sensor, this is a known issue with 02-03 Lancers.

 

If the timing belt wouldn't move when cranking, but the other belts would, that sounds like a serious problem. A problem that involves 16 valves, quite a bit of heat, and collision with the pistons lol.

 

terrible news.

 

what was the issue ?

 

forgot about this thread...well my timing belt some what broke...a few of the teeth broke off causing my timing to go off thus makin my car turn off. end result: all of my exhaust valves needed replacement. so its fixed now and running though.

 

damn... that's why changing the timing blet is so important... at least you got it fixed and it's running~
