yes
Maybe the timing belt broke.
My timing belt broke while driving on the freeway. Nothing was damaged. I think that I was lucky though.....
if it broke it could cost you several $g's probly bent the valves too
My timing belt broke at 120k miles on my '01 Quest. I don't think it's an interference engine, as we turned it over several times while trying to diagnose.
If it broke, yes.
No. There are many things that have to happen to blow an engine in this manner. Your engine went out of time as soon as your chain broke and this will sometimes sound like it blew sky high. Replace the timing chain and get it timed and it should be ok.
If the engine runs at all, the timing belt is not "broke."
Yes
A timing belt failure normally trashes the engine.
If a timing chain broke, the engine wouldn't run and a compression test would read "0".
No.
In order for an internal combustion engine to operate you must have four basic components. #1. SPARK. #2. FUEL. You have these two but need to check the other two. #3. TIMING(both valve timing and spark timing). If it has a distributor and you haven't messed with it then your spark timing is probably ok. Check timing belt. It could have broke or come off. #4. COMPRESSION. You will need a cylinder compression tester to ditermine if this is your problem. Have fun! Chris
