NOT SURE REALLY.HAD A SERVICE 3 MONTHS AGO SO I,M GUESSING IT WAS OK
CAR GOT ME HOME SO IF THERE WAS TIMING BELT ISSUE THE CAR WOULD HAVE STOPPED ON ROUTE?
OIL LOOKED NORMAL,NOT MILKY IN ANY WAY.OIL WAS OK TILL I REVVED THE SHIT OUT OF IT
OK. Now you need to see if it is not firing or no fuel. Spray some starting fluid in the air filter box and see if it starts for a few seconds.
Ok will try that tomorrow and let you know.thanks for advice.
If you run the engine low on oil the Timing is now off. Have To ,reset timing. Keep in mind this engine does not have a keyway crank pulley. Also you need the Proper timing tools.
