2003 Saturn L300 won't start
Engine Mechanical problem
2003 Saturn L300 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 66000 miles
engine started making noise. sounded like lifters clacking. Oil is full, no warning lights. drove 15 miles and engine shut off. Has 3/4 tank of gas, cranks strong sounds like it wants to start but won't. had it towed to a garage. Said fuel pressure was good batt. good. Looked in oil filler cap and said cam was not moving when cranked. When I looked the serpentine belt was intact. can't figure out what is wrong.

The serpentine belt will move when engine is being crank bcuz the crankshaft is turning-but if the camshaft is not -something is wrong inside with the T/belt-could be broken
