I was driving my car up my driveway,(which is a steep hill). I got to the top of the driveway and the car stalled. I tried to restart start it and nothing happened.I did a compression test on #1 cylinder and there was none. Does this mean that the timing belt has jumped a couple of teeth? Oh yes, I do have spark to the plugs and have fuel to the injectors. Any ideas to help me out .

Open up the distributor cap and watch the rotor while being crank over-Is it turning uniformly or looks like its skipping.

I have solved the problem. The timing belt skipped a few teeth. Thus no compression. I got everything lined up, and perfection again. Thank-you for your web-site. :lol:
