It has spark and gas and turns over fine but wont start. what could it bee?? when this happened it did start but quit within 5 seconds and hasent started since. i was told it might bee the timing belt and if that happend then it is a good chance that the pistons could come up and hit the lifters n bend them. could this be possiable??? |

Camarozen 3/8/2012 If your timing has skipped, then yes, you could damage the valves (not the lifters normally, the push rods and valves are most likely to bend). Did it make a strange noise when it happened? Grab a timing light and see where it is firing #1 when cranking. If it is way off, then yes you have a timing problem. A compression test will also let you know however those are more time consuming.
