WELL IT DEPENDS WEATHER OR NOT IT IS A INTERFEARENCE ENGINE OR NOT. ONCE THE BELT BROKE A VALVE COULD OF HIT A PISTON WHICH WOULD OF SHEARD A KEY on the cam or the crankshaft gear that held it in time.( this would be an interfearence engine)...an noninterfearence engine should'nt hit anything inside the engine when the timimg belt break's. so it would be some other problem.

the LeSabre has a timing CHAIN. It does not need to be replaced. (unless you broke it :)
if the timing belt broke while you where driving you need a new motor it smashed the valves and blew the motor
If a timing chain broke, the engine wouldn't run and a compression test would read "0".
Maybe the timing belt broke.
If the engine runs at all, the timing belt is not "broke."
Have them re-check timing belt adjustment. Have them also check front differential. I had similar problem.
No.
If belt broke it probably caused damage to the valves. If replaced before any breaking, it was probably installed wrong and the timing is off.
who replaced the chain guide because it sounds like the timing might be off a bit like it skipped a few teeth when the guide broke from the slack.
When you have the belt put back on correctly it will be back in time.
the timing belt on my 2003 galant broke while i was driving and i had it replaced by the dealer. they said it's possibility for the valves to bend. I had no problems after my timing belt was changed Tony
It has a timing belt. Mine broke after 140K miles.
