Answer
Hello, if the engine seems to spin faster than usual the timing belt may have broken or jumped on the gears. Remove on e of the spark plug connectors and use a screwdriver to make contact with the metal connector inside, while someone cranks the engine hold the screwdriver metal part away from any metal surface about 1/4" the spark should jump to ground, do this and let me know if it does. If not remove the distributor cap and see if the rotor turns when cranking the engine>
