Hi whitebeans,

Before jumping to conclusions, you need to verufy if it is electrical, mechanical or fuel that is causing the problem.

Check for sparks at plugs, fuel at rails and if the camshaft is turning when cranking engine.

Hi whitebeans,

Remove distributor cap and crank engine, if rotor turns, timing belt should be ok.
