Mike if it's anything it would be the belt broke, and trust me when I tell ya, with a boatload of force, it may well have wiped out the crank sensor, maybe the cam sensor too... they are on the front of the engine. The crank sensor is of course by the crank, and the cam is...? Bingo, at the cam! See if it knocked the lead off the crank sensor...if it did, maybe replace it if plugging it in again doesn't work. Let me know...
