Answer
Hi Jay -

Did your timing belt break? Remove the distributor cap and crank the engine. If the rotor is not spinning, then the belt needs replacement. Hopefully you do not have the engine that interferes with the valves, otherwise you will need a valve job too.

If the rotor is spinning, then I will take you through a diagnostic test if you wish - PLease get back to me -

Hope this helps -
