My wife and I were driving the other day and the car simply cut off power, no loud noises just dead, my wife didnt even noticed and asked why i was pulling over.
pulled it to oreilly and checked the codes and threw a couple sensor codes, so i figured id replace those sensors.when i opened it up i thought id check the timing belt, since they suck in aveos. from the cam pulley the belt was intact, but looking a little weak so i thought id replace it.
today i was doing the replacement and when i got down to the crank pulley i noticed the belt was NOT OK. the crank pulley had stripped off the teeth at the bottom of the belt.
If i had broken valves wouldnt there be more noise and obvious signs of engine damage?
Is my engine ok?
if it is, how can i now correctly align the timing marks, since the crank has spun independently from the cam pulleys? (there are teeth everywhere else on the belt, so i do not believe the cams spun independently from each other)
