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!!

Spin the crank around again and recheck that they are still at 0.
Lining them up once is not enough. There can be slack in the belt that will cause them to look ok when first installed but be totally off after a few revolutions. I had to redo the belt on my 3sgte at least 4 times before I got everything lined up correctly. Your 5s will be easier but you should still check it again. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
