1993 j30 just quit
I was stopped at a redlight today, and my car just quit. I have no idea what it could be. Everything has been running just fine, and then all of a sudden today BAM! I thought maybe I run out of gas, went bougth gas, no start. I pulled a coil, and plug. Ground it out, and no fire, I am getting gas no problem, just not firing. Any suggestions? It was late when this happened so no shop open, and I don't have a CEL. Sorry I can't provide more info, but I am mostly wandering if anyone else has had this problem, and what did you do to solve it?

It turns out that the Timing Belt broke. I am going to replace it with high hopes, that because I was Idling, I didn't bend any valves. This is an interferance motor, and that is a very big possibility. If so it looks like a major head reworking is in order. Hopefully I wont have to go through with all that, but if I do I will post a walkthrough with some pics.

Re: (j30_Dood)
Ouch.How many miles since your last belt change?Mine's quite a bit overdue, but I can't afford a belt change right now. I'm crossing my fingers, hoping it'll hold out for another month until I have the money. Now I'm even more paranoid...j30_Dood wrote:It turns out that the Timing Belt broke.

Hope it turns out well.
