If your timing belt is broken you can definitly tell because your car will not do anything, wont crank, wont do anything. car will crank over but will not fire there is a plastic cover that can be removed part way to expose timing belt
May be a bad timing belt. If you replace the timing belt, replace the timing belt tensioner and water pump at the same time. Trust me.
