Not the starter motor inspected timing belt and it had threaded on outside not in half Fraying. But the tensioner had froze. Mechanic has been replaced timing belt kit and still wont start. She turns over and back fires.

Did you check for bent valves ?? compression test the cylinders .. or you could be a tooth off on the timing !!
