driving home from work, im 4 blocks from house when i get to a stop sign. when i go again my motor stops and when i try to start it up only the starter is heard which brings me to conclusion that when i open the hood the timing belt snapped. i read that the 5a-fe are non- interference motors and after the belt snaps it kills the motor to prevent damage to the internals. is this true and of course i will check the inside... im just looking for relevance and good hopes!!

Oh and definately think about changing the crankshaft seal, waterpump, motor mount and serpentine belts while you have the timing belt off. If you change the belt yourself or get a buddy to do it then you probably dont need to worry about anything other than just purchasing a new timing belt.
If however you are paying someone to do the labor on this repair you need to invest in a waterpump and crankshaft seal for sure. They are cheap and easy to install once the timing belt has been removed and you may save yourself having to pay someone later on to remove the timing belt AGAIN just to change a leaky water pump. |
