Help car wont start!!
i tried to start my car this morning for work and it wouldnt turn over it actually did turn over twice and it rumbled like the whole motor was shaking and it was puttering like an oldsmobile or something. i need ideas. the car ran fine yesterday and now its acting up. i went outside and it will act like it wants to start but like choke out or some shit. i dunno if my description makes sense but i'm not sure where to staart.

Have you tried giving it gas while starting it?

How mechanically inclined are you? Are you able to test fuel pressure and spark?

so the timing belt jumped.. get this.. i just got my stuff in the mail![Tomato](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/tomato.gif)
go fucking figure... my mechanic said that i may be able to put on a new timing belt and tensioner and everything and it may be fine. what do you guys think? is that a waste? should i buy another motor? He said its a chance because the belt jumped a few teeth at the crankshaft but nothing major from what he saw. i Dunno. i think its time to get a new 3.2 or maybe another car... i''ve been dumping money into this car lately and i'm still making payments

Interesting. The only way I can figure a timing belt jumping a few teeth is having a bad tensioner. And people wonder if changing the tensioner is necessary when doing the belt. Yeah.
