      2010 Aveo won't start.. No codes

      Ok so this is my daughters car that I'm just trying to fix for her. It was running fine today when out of no where is just died on her as she was driving.
      The car cranks over just fine, I've tested to spark and each coil is generating spark just fine, I've tested that fuel is getting to the rail and see nothing blocking the air duct from the engine getting air.
      I've also looked at all the fuses which all look good and I don't see anything clearly wrong with any relays but then again I'm not even sure how I'd know if one were bad.
      What worse is that it's not throwing any codes so I've got no idea where to even begin looking so I'm hoping others on here can help me out, thanks ahead!!

      How many miles on the car? Last time timing belt was changed? Any other details about what happened surrounding it just "dying" on the road, like noises, etc

      She claims there was no noise when it quite running and it has 104k and original belt I suspect but I don't know...

      Hmm, timing belt is only slightly overdue and the 09 models onward aren't known for failing early. It's still worth checking out though.

      You can get access to check by removing 2 10mm bolts from the upper timing belt cover (bolt locations circled below). It's easier to access the rear one if the airbox is removed

      My money on a broken timing belt. Too bad if that’s what happened, as the 1.6 in an interference engine and it’ll have bent valves too.

      I'm expecting it to be broken too.

      I hope you're both wrong but it's always possible...

      I'm sure we both want to be wrong too. There's not many things that cause a sudden shutdown and it sounds like you've ruled out the more benign ones. Please do keep us informed though

      Crap, so I just went out and pulled that cover to find this... Belt appears to be in one piece but shredded and most likely cam's have slipped but would that mean motor is toast?

      Yikes. Assuming those teal dots are timing marks, it looks like the car jumped time. Bent valves are a near certainty, in my opinion, given the state of the belt and the sudden death on the road
